Description
Erkan Gulgosteren and co-authors check muscle firing after hamstring tears in a 2025 study of football players. Hamstring strain is one of the most common non-contact injuries in the sport. It heals slowly, often returns, and can leave hidden weakness. Rehab rebuilds strength and stretch, yet firing patterns in the back-of-body chain may stay off.
The study held 42 male players, half with a past tear and half healthy. Sensors on the skin read firing in four muscles during three drills: a Nordic curl, a kettlebell swing, and a sliding leg curl. Injured players fired all four muscles less in the Nordic curl. Cuts ranged from about 15 to 24 percent. Like gaps showed in the other drills, the authors report.
