Hamstring injuries are highly prevalent in many running‐based sports, and predominantly affect the long head of biceps femoris. Re‐injury rates are also high and together lead to considerable time lost from sport. However, the mechanisms for hamstring injury during high‐speed running are still not fully understood. Therefore, the aim of this review was to summarize the current literature describing hamstring musculotendon mechanics and electromyography activity during high‐speed running, and…

A stretch-type injury to the hamstrings is caused by extensive hip flexion with an extended knee, and hamstring injuries during sprinting are most likely to occur due to excessive muscle strain caused by eccentric contraction during the late swing phase of the running gait cycle.

The first publications which considered the time of onset in the gait cycle for hamstring strains concluded that early stance was the highest risk period, but this is a widely held belief despite experimental muscle strains being able to be produced during concentric contractions.

It is proposed that isometric rather than eccentric exercises are a more specific way of conditioning the hamstrings for high-speed running because of the increasing distance between the attachment points.

It is suggested that this period in the stride cycle may be when the biarticular hamstrings are at greatest injury risk, and hamstring injury prevention or rehabilitation programs should preferentially target strengthening exercises that involve eccentric contractions performed with high loads at longer musculotendon lengths.
