Sentences with phrase «nordic hamstring curl»

Despite this common advice, the majority of elite soccer teams fail to use the Nordic hamstring curl in either prevention or rehabilitation programs, which may explain the continued high incidence of both novel and recurrent hamstring strain injury (Bahr et al. 2015).

Small et al. (2009) found that long - term training using the Nordic hamstring curl either before or after practice had different effects.

Eccentric hamstring training, particularly the Nordic hamstring curl exercise, reduces the incidence of both novel and recurrent hamstring strain injury.

Therefore, whether there is any difference between medial and lateral hamstrings EMG amplitudes in the Nordic hamstring curl (and whether it in fact matters) remains unclear.

Exploring the EMG amplitude of the hamstrings during the Nordic hamstring curl, Iga et al. (2012) found that EMG amplitude of the hamstrings was higher when the knee was extended than when the knee was flexed, indicating that the exercise trains the hamstrings at long muscle lengths.

The Nordic hamstring curl is the primary exercise used for performing eccentric training of the hamstring musculature during long - term trials investigating hamstring strain injury prevention (Gabbe et al. 2006b; Engebretsen et al. 2008; Arnason et al. 2010; Petersen et al. 2011; Van der Horst et al. 2015) although a range of others have also been developed that may also be suitable (Askling et al. 2013; Orishimo & McHugh, 2015).

Bourne et al. (2015) found that the Nordic hamstring curl produced preferentially higher semitendinosus EMG amplitude; but again, Zebis et al. (2013) did not report any preferential activation; Mendiguchia et al. (2013a) reported preferential biceps (short head) activation; and Ditroilo et al. (2013) reported that biceps femoris EMG amplitude exceeded maximum voluntary eccentric contraction levels by some margin.

However, Zebis et al. (2013) did not find any effect of joint angle on EMG amplitude during the Nordic hamstring curl.

Exploring multiple sets of the Nordic hamstring curl exercise, Marshall et al. (2015) noted that a single set of 5 repetitions led to substantial reductions in peak eccentric knee flexion moments during the exercise, with even further reductions in subsequent sets, implying that performing the Nordic hamstring curl prior to practice or other exercise might not be advisable.

The Nordic hamstring curl allows coaches to load the ECCENTRIC portion of the lift, which is key to increasing the tensile strength and resistance to strain during explosive movements where the hips and quadriceps kick into full force mode.

In the Nordic hamstring curl, the lifter lowers themselves forwards to the ground by extending the knee, slowing their descent by trying to contract the hamstrings muscles.

Leg curls are a reliable option, while good mornings, Romanian deadlifts, and Nordic hamstring curls (glute - ham raises) are good alternatives.

Early adopters are now making use of hip thrusts, Nordic hamstring curls, and flywheel leg curls with eccentric overload.

Not exact matches

A few exercises to help this are eccentric hamstring leans, glute ham raises, Nordic leg curl, prone, standing and kneeling leg curls.

Interestingly, the Nordic curl produces greater increases in muscle fascicle length and preferential biceps femoris (short head) and semitendinosus hypertrophy compared to hip extension - based hamstrings exercises (Bourne et al. 2016).

Though Nordic curls get a lot of love in the research on hamstring injuries, I personally am not convinced there are any more special than any other exercise.

The Nordic curl is commonly recommended as the primary exercise to perform in order to prevent and rehabilitate hamstring strain injury (Schmitt & McHugh, 2012; Bahr et al. 2015).

Oliver and Dougherty (2009a) investigated hamstrings EMG amplitude in the Razor curl, a variant of the Nordic curl, and found that it produced significant hamstrings EMG amplitude.

Hamstrings energy absorption can be enhanced by eccentric - only or accentuated eccentric training for knee flexion (flywheel leg curl or Nordic curl) or hip extension (single - leg back extension).

The deadlift appears to be a better hamstrings exercise than the back squat but the Romanian deadlift is similar to other commonly - performed hamstrings exercises (Nordic curl, glute - ham raise, machine leg curl).
