Athletes suffer more strains to the hamstrings than any other thigh muscle. Hamstring strains are painful injuries that can sideline an athlete for several weeks or months because injuries to this muscle group significantly impair one’s ability to run, jump, and even walk. As a former professional arena and indoor football player, I struggled with, and was frustrated by, re-occurring hamstring injuries at many different times in my career. It wasn’t until I changed some of my approaches to training, that I stopped having issues with hamstring injuries. In this fitness facts video, I first explain the location and function of the hamstring muscles. Then, I define what a hamstring strain is, talk about the signs and symptoms of a hamstring strain, cover how an injury is graded, and discuss what causes a strain. Furthermore, I provide estimates of how long it takes to heal from hamstring strains, and describe the various treatment approaches that are used to help you recover quicker and return to play fast! Finally, I discuss training strategies you can use to “bulletproof” your hamstrings and prevent hamstring strains from occurring in the first place!
If you have specific questions about exercise science, kinesiology, sports performance enhancement, bodybuilding, nutrition, supplementation, training, exercise program design, exercise technique, injury prevention, rehabilitation, etc., leave a comment below and I will try my best to produce a video over the topic in the future!
