Hamstrings muscle dynamics during the Nordic hamstring exercise and high-speed running

This study compares the biomechanical demands of Nordic hamstring exercise and high-speed running on the biceps femoris long head muscle, finding differences in force, work, and power.

Knee and Hip Joint Dynamics Differ between Sprinting and Nordic Hamstring Exercises

This study compares knee and hip joint dynamics during sprinting and Nordic hamstring exercises, finding differences in biomechanical demands and hamstrings muscle-tendon unit behavior.

Hamstrings are stretched more and faster during accelerative running compared to speed-matched constant speed running

This study compares hamstring mechanics during accelerative and constant speed running, finding greater muscle-tendon lengths and lengthening velocities during acceleration.
