Sprinting for hamstring resilience — If regularly ending up with hamstring tweaks and pulls during practices and competitions, there’s a chance it’s due to lack of task readiness. Try to hit >95% max velocity a handful of times each week to reduce risk of injury.

Do more hill sprints. Hamstring strains are the #1 injury in contact sports and its one of the biggest reasons athletes never develop one of the most valuable qualities in sport - Speed. Hill sprinting is a smart way to reintroduce high-speed running if you’re cautious about hamstring injuries. The incline naturally shortens stride length and reduces peak hamstring strain compared to flat sprinting. Yes — nothing replaces flat max-velocity sprinting. But you have to be conditioned for it. Hill sprints help bridge that gap, building speed exposure while managing risk. Credit to @horton_barbell (unbelievable facility) and STATSports for the clips

That’s not a mild hamstring strain. Anticipating a potential IR stint for Mike Evans coming up due to his age and hamstring history.

🚨🚨New article 🚨🚨 If reduce hamstring STRAIN during sprinting (determinant of tissue failure) is your GOAL... you must consider the PELVIS as a main strain regulator

#Reds Emilio Pagan appeared to potentially injure himself on the final pitch of the game tonight. Something to monitor. Edit: Apparently it’s a potential hamstring injury according to early reports.

Jalen Williams left tonight’s game with a left hamstring injury He had TWO right hamstring strains earlier in the year that caused him to miss significant time throughout the season. MRI will determine if there is a hamstring strain and severity. Healing timeline is as follows Tightness: Day to Day Grade I: 1-2 weeks Grade II: 3-6 weeks

Herbie Farnworth has been ruled out after suffering a hamstring injury - textbook sprinting mechanism with no contact (“sniper got him”). Usually tough to predict severity of soft tissue injuries just by video, but considering high speed mechanism + function loss concern for moderate to high grade strain & 1-2 month recovery here.

Hamstring development for soccer and preventative measures should always be focused around sprinting, but there are exercises we can do in the weight room to strengthen them: ▪️Nordic Hamstring curls ▪️Eccentric glute/ham slides ▪️RDL variations

A lot of elderly people and their caregivers worry about falls. Falls kill thousands of elderly people each year. So it’s easy to tell grandma to stay in her bed or chair so they never fall. This is a terrible idea IMO. Lack of movement guarantees poor health and decline among the elderly. Instead we take a different approach. We reduce fall risk by strength training and balance exercises We want our residents to be too strong and fit to fall!
