Associations of time to return to performance following acute posterior thigh injuries with running biomechanics, hamstring function, and structure in collegiate sprinters: A prospective cohort design
2022, Clinical BiomechanicsCitation Excerpt :Acute hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) are common in sports with high rates of recurrent incident (Ahmad et al., 2014; Elliott and Zarins, 2011; Ekstrand et al., 2011a, 2011b; Feddermann-Demont et al., 2014; Gabbe et al., 2002; Howkins et al., 2001; López-Valenciano et al., 2020; Opar et al., 2012; Orchard and Seward, 2002; Stubbe et al., 2015; Woods et al., 2004).
Injury profiles of Australian football players across five, women's and girls' competition levels
2022, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :Since 1997, the Australian Football League (AFL) has implemented a longstanding injury surveillance system for the men's professional competition (AFL).3 This annual injury report, coupled with numerous research studies investigating injury epidemiology in Australian football participation of men and boys at the elite senior3,4 and junior5,6 competitions, as well as in adult7,8 and youth9–11 community competition levels, has highlighted priority areas for further development of injury risk reduction programs. A recent review suggested the most common injuries sustained in men's Australian football are to the lower extremity (40–68% of all injuries), namely hamstring strains and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures.12
Concussion incidence and time-loss in Australian football: A systematic review
2020, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportInjuries in community-level Australian football: Results from a club-based injury surveillance system
2015, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :This was also consistent with all other studies where the most commonly injured body parts were the thigh,15 knee,19,21 lower leg22 and ankle.18,23 The most common specific diagnosis in our study was hamstring strain which corresponded to all other studies reporting this variable, accounting for between 7%22 and 14%15 of all injuries. Therefore, as reported previously, hamstring strains and other lower limb injuries should be a priority area for prevention in community-level Australian football.23
The role of neuromuscular inhibition in hamstring strain injury recurrence
2013, Journal of Electromyography and KinesiologyCitation Excerpt :Hamstring strains are amongst the most common and problematic injuries in a wide range of sports that involve high speed running. They are the primary injury in Australian football (Gabbe et al., 2002; Orchard and Seward, 2002, 2009, 2010; Seward et al., 1993), soccer (Ekstrand and Gillquist, 1983; Ekstrand et al., 2010; Hawkins et al., 2001; Woods et al., 2002, 2004) and the sprint events in track & field (Drezner et al., 2005; Sugiura et al., 2008; Yeung et al., 2009), while also accounting for a high proportion of lost playing time in cricket (Orchard and James, 2003; Orchard et al., 2002; Stretch, 2003), rugby union (Brooks et al., 2005a,b,c, 2006), Gaelic football (Newell et al., 2006; O’Sullivan et al., 2008), American football (Elliott et al., 2011; Feeley et al., 2008; Meeuwisse et al., 2000) and hurling (Murphy et al., 2010). High rates of injury recurrence are arguably the most troublesome aspect of hamstring strains because recurring injuries often result in substantially more lost playing time than the original insults (Brooks et al., 2006; Ekstrand et al., 2011; Koulouris et al., 2007) and because the hamstrings remain at elevated risk of injury recurrence for longer than other strained muscles (Orchard and Best, 2002).
