The purpose of the present study was to examine the incidence rates of acute hamstring injuries in Danish elite football sustained during training or match play. [] Key Method Hamstring injuries among 374 elite football players were registered prospectively during a 12-month period. A total of 46 first-time and eight recurrent hamstring injuries were registered. The incidence rates for incurring a first-time hamstring injury showed a significantly (P<0.01) greater incidence rate per 1000 h during match play…

Muscle injuries in the academy of a Spanish professional football club: A one-year prospective study
Acute hamstring injuries in Swedish elite football: a prospective randomised controlled clinical trial comparing two rehabilitation protocols
TLDR
A rehabilitation protocol emphasising lengthening type of exercises is more effective than a protocol containing conventional exercises in promoting time to return in Swedish elite football.
Hamstring muscle injuries in professional football: the correlation of MRI findings with return to play
TLDR
MRI can be helpful in verifying the diagnosis of a hamstring injury and to prognosticate lay-off time, and Radiological grading is associated with lay-offs times after injury.
Evaluation of Muscle Injuries in Professional Football Players: Does Coach Replacement Affect the Injury Rate?
TLDR
Given the link between coach dismissal and increased rates of muscle strain injuries, increased attentiveness to preventing muscle injuries during coaching transitions and to the impact of new training regimens is required by trainers and medical teams.
Injury incidence, characteristics and burden among female sub-elite futsal players: a prospective study with three-year follow-up
TLDR
Data indicate that sub-elite female futsal players are exposed to a substantial risk of sustaining an injury, and efforts should be directed toward the design, implementation and assessment of preventative measures that target the most common diagnoses, namely, muscle/tendon and ligament injuries.
Risk factors for hamstring muscle strain injury in sport: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TLDR
The aim of the current review was to assemble all available knowledge and data to identify the intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors associated with hamstring muscle strain-type injuries.
Acute hamstring injuries in Swedish elite sprinters and jumpers: a prospective randomised controlled clinical trial comparing two rehabilitation protocols
TLDR
A rehabilitation protocol emphasising lengthening type of exercises is more effective than a protocol containing conventional exercises in promoting time to return in Swedish elite sprinters and jumpers.
Preventive Effect of Eccentric Training on Acute Hamstring Injuries in Men’s Soccer
TLDR
In male professional and amateur soccer players, additional eccentric hamstring exercise decreased the rate of overall, new, and recurrent acute hamstring injuries.
Risk Factors for Hamstring Injuries in Male Soccer Players: A Systematic Review of Prospective Studies
TLDR
The results from the multivariate analyses suggest that previous hamstring injury is most strongly related to hamstring injury, and conflicting evidence is found for age and hamstring length or flexibility as risk factors for the occurrence of hamstring injuries.

The Football Association Medical Research Programme: an audit of injuries in professional football—analysis of hamstring injuries
TLDR
Hamstring strains accounted for 12% of the total injuries over the two seasons with nearly half (53%) involving the biceps femoris and only 5% of hamstring strains underwent some form of diagnostic investigation.
UEFA Champions League study: a prospective study of injuries in professional football during the 2001–2002 season
TLDR
The results suggest that regional differences may influence injury epidemiology and traumatology, but the factors involved are unclear.
Previous injury as a risk factor for injury in elite football: a prospective study over two consecutive seasons
TLDR
Overall injury incidences were similar between consecutive seasons, indicating that an injury surveillance study covering one full season can provide a reasonable overview of the injury problem among elite football players in a specific environment, but a prolonged study period is recommended for analyses of specific injury patterns.
Epidemiology of injuries in the Australian Football League, seasons 1997–2000
TLDR
The injury definition of this study does not produce incidence rates that are complete for all minor injuries, but the determination of an injury is made by a single entity in exactly the same manner for all teams, which overcomes a significant methodological flaw present in other multiteam injury surveillance systems.
Soccer injuries and their mechanisms: a prospective study.
TLDR
It is suggested that those with knee instability and those allowed to resume play with poorly rehabilitated or clinically unhealed injuries are more apt to sustain further injury.

Risk Factors for Injuries in Football
TLDR
Age and previous injury were identified as the main risk factors for injury among elite football players from Iceland.
Soccer injuries in Iceland
TLDR
Significantly more injuries occurred on artificial turf than on grass or gravel in correlation to number of hours in games and practices in 1991.
Interventions for preventing hamstring injuries.
TLDR
There is insufficient evidence from randomised controlled trials to draw conclusions on the effectiveness of interventions used to prevent hamstring injuries in people participating in football or other high risk activities for these injuries.
Evidence based prevention of hamstring injuries in sport
TLDR
Although the initial treatment of rest, ice, compression, and elevation is accepted for muscle strains, no consensus exists for their rehabilitation and there is a need for further research preferably in the form of randomised controlled trials.
