text: In everyday activity, the hamstrings undergo an eccentric contraction to control the tendency of bodyweight to cause the trunk to flex forward on the pelvis.
text: Activated muscle complexes are able to absorb larger eccentric forces,13 and high-intensity sprinting involves intricate neuromuscular coordination in the hamstrings.37 Recent biomechanical studies of sprint mechanics suggest that the posterior thigh is most susceptible to such strains near the end of the swing phase, when the hamstrings reach maximal length and undergo eccentric contraction just prior to heel strike.16,33,44
