Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed muscle activity in male soccer players with a history of hamstring strain injuries (HSI) compared to healthy players during 30-meter sprints.
- It involved 26 male soccer players, split into two groups (13 with HSI history and 13 healthy), and evaluated the activity of ten muscles through electromyography while running.
- Findings revealed that the HSI group had significantly lower muscle activity in key muscles like the gluteus maximus and external oblique, suggesting that they may be at a higher risk for injury during the early phase of a sprint.
