Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how a high-volume sprinting session affects sprint performance and risk factors for hamstring strain injuries in male amateur soccer players.* -
- Results show significant decreases in sprint performance and posterior chain muscle strength for up to 72 hours post-sprinting, indicating that such sessions can lead to fatigue and increased injury risk.* -
- The findings highlight the necessity for careful management of sprinting volume in training to minimize the risk of injuries while maintaining performance levels.*
This study aimed to assess acute and residual changes in sprint-related hamstring injury (HSI) risk factors after a football (soccer) match, focusing on recovery within the commonly observed 72-h timeframe between elite football matches. We used a multifactorial approach within a football context, incorporating optical and ultrastructural microscopic analysis of BFlh (biceps femoris long head) muscle fibres, along with an examination of BFlh fibre composition. Changes in sprint performance-related factors and HSI modifiable risk factors were examined until 3 days after the match (MD ) in 20 football players.
