Abstract
- who did not [relative risk (RR) 5 1.53, P 5 0.22], nor was there a difference compared with the baseline data (RR 5 0.89, P 5 0.75). The incidence of hamstring strains was lower in teams who used the eccentric training program compared with teams that did not use the program (RR 5 0.43, P 5 0.01), as well as compared with baseline data for the same intervention teams (RR 5 0.42, P 5 0.009). Eccentric strength training with Nordic hamstring lowers combined with warm-up stretching appears to reduce the risk of hamstring strains, while no effect was detected from flexibility training alone. These results should be verified in randomized clinical trials.
