There is a Lack of Clinical Homogeneity in Lower-Limb Tendinopathy Trials: A Scoping Review.

It is unclear if clinical trials of treatments for lower-limb tendinopathies include clinically homogeneous participant populations (an assumption for pooling in meta-analyses). We assessed the recruitment setting and participant characteristics used in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that were investigating any treatment for lower-limb tendinopathies. Scoping review.

Muscle Activation Differences During Eccentric Hamstring Exercises.

Background: The hamstring muscles play a critical role in the prevention of lower limb injuries. However, it is still unclear which exercises are more effective in terms of muscle activation.

Hypothesis: In healthy individuals, there are differences between muscular activations of the biceps femoris (BF), semitendinosus (ST), and semimembranosus (SM) muscles during eccentric hamstring exercises.
