Hamstring strain injuries are a prevalent burden in soccer. Low strength, muscle fatigue, and inter-limb differences in hamstring strength are associated with hamstring injury risk. Previous research shows increased hamstring injury incidence in soccer at the end of each half or the end of the match, respectively.

- Hamstring injuries lead to reduced hamstring strength, and the 90:20 Isometric Posterior Chain Test (90:20 IPCT) is a method for assessing this strength but lacks validation and has inconsistent instructions.
- The researchers improved the test by adding new instructions and variables, allowing assessment of vertical and horizontal forces alongside resultant force and torque.
- Their findings showed that the new instructions provided better validity and reliability than the original setup, recommending the updated approach for more accurate hamstring strength evaluation.
