Sprint acceleration mechanics: the major role of hamstrings in horizontal force production

Sprint acceleration mechanics: the major role of hamstrings in horizontal force production

Recent literature supports the importance of horizontal ground reaction force (GRF) production for sprint acceleration performance. Modeling and clinical studies have shown that the hip extensors are very likely contributors to sprint acceleration performance. We experimentally tested the role of th...
