Hamstring and ankle flexibility deficits are weak risk factors for hamstring injury in professional soccer players: A prospective cohort study of 438 players including 78 injuries
van Dyk, Nicol; Farooq, Abdulaziz; Bahr, Roald; Witvrouw, Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Hamstring injuries remain a significant injury burden in sports such as soccer that involve high-speed running. It has repeatedly been identified as the most common noncontact injury in elite male soccer, ... -
Interseason variability in isokinetic strength and poor correlation with Nordic hamstring eccentric strength in football players
van Dyk, Nicol; Witvrouw, Erik; Bahr, Roald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In elite sport, the use of strength testing to establish muscle function and performance is common. Traditionally, isokinetic strength tests have been used, measuring torque during concentric and eccentric muscle action. ... -
No association between perceived exertion and session duration with hamstring injury occurrence in professional football
Lolli, Lorenzo; Bahr, Roald; Weston, Matthew; Whiteley, Rodney; Tabben, Montassar; Bonanno, Daniele; Gregson, Warren; Chamari, Karim; Di Salvo, Valter; van Dyk, Nicol (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Training and competition loads have emerged as modifiable composite risk factors of non‐contact injury. Hamstring strains are the most common injuries in football with substantial burden on the individual player and club. ... -
