Biceps Femoris Long Head Muscle Fascicles Actively Lengthen During the Nordic Hamstring Exercise

Current debate exists around whether a presumed eccentric exercise, the Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE), actually causes active hamstring muscle lengthening. This is because of the decoupling that can occur between the muscle fascicle and muscle-tendon unit (MTU) length changes in relatively complia...
