Hamstring Muscle Strains in Sprinters

This research paper focuses on hamstring strains in sprinters.

Key findings included a strong correlation between the location of the injury, distance from the ischial tuberosity and the time to return to pre-injury level, as well as the impact of proximal tendon involvement on recovery.
