Since the moment arm lengths for hip extension appear to be similar between the semitendinosus, semimembranosus and biceps femoris (long head)(Dostal et al. 1986), this may imply that one muscle in each subgroup is better suited for producing large excursions with high joint angular velocities while the other may be better suited for performing very forceful muscular contractions over short excursions (see review by Lieber and Fridén, 2000).

Ono et al. (2010) found that EMG amplitude of the semitendinosus was significantly higher than that of the semimembranosus during eccentric leg curls and Kubota et al. (2007) found that muscular soreness and signal intensity was greatest in the order semitendinosus > biceps femoris (long head) > semimembranosus following eccentric leg curls.

There are four hamstrings muscles: the biceps femoris (long head), the biceps femoris (short head), the semitendinosus, and the semimembranosus.

This important new study used the latest methods to determine the muscle fiber type of the biceps femoris (long head), which is the hamstring muscle that is most often injured during sprinting.

Although the hamstrings are generally discussed separately, the semitendinosus and biceps femoris (long head) almost certainly share a proximal origin by way of a conjoined tendon in most people.

For the hamstrings, it is very often the biceps femoris (long head) that is injured (Opar et al. 2012).

From the limited literature, it is generally apparent that the biceps femoris (long head) and the semimembranosus have the greatest muscle cross-sectional area, while the biceps femoris (short head) and semitendinosus generally have the smallest muscle cross-sectional area (Pohtilla et al. 1969; Ito et al. 2003; Woodley and Mercer, 2005).

The biceps femoris (long head), the semitendinosus, and the semimembranosus are all bi-articular (two - joint) muscles.

When it does have a separate tendon, the proximal tendon of the semimembranosus is located anteriorly and laterally to the shared tendon of the semitendinosus and biceps femoris (long head)(Miller et al. 2007; Philippon et al. 2014; Feucht et al. 2014).

Similarly, the biceps femoris (long head) is usually found to be greater in size than the biceps femoris (short head).

They are usually divided into two groups, the lateral hamstrings (biceps femoris long and short heads) and the medial hamstrings (semitendinosus and the semimembranosus) on the basis of their locations on the rear part of the thigh.

When the hamstrings are injured, it seems to be most often the biceps femoris (long head) that is damaged.

From the limited literature, it is apparent that the biceps femoris (long head) and the semimembranosus are the heaviest muscles, while the biceps femoris (short head) and semitendinosus are usually the lightest when comparing within studies, although there are discrepancies (Wickiewicz et al. 1983; Ito et al. 2003; Horsman et al. 2007; Ward et al. 2009; Kellis et al. 2012).

From the limited literature, it is generally apparent that the biceps femoris (long head) and the semimembranosus have the greatest muscle volume, while the biceps femoris (short head) and semitendinosus generally have the smallest muscle volume (Friederich and Brand, 1990; Miokovic et al. 2011; Nakase et al. 2013).

The four hamstrings muscles are: the biceps femoris (long head), the biceps femoris (short head), the semitendinosus, and the semimembranosus.

The weight of the biceps femoris (long head) has been recorded at between 55.8 — 245.0 g, the weight of the semimembranosus has been recorded at between 109.3 — 146.0 g, the weight of the biceps femoris (short head) has been recorded at between 57.1 — 114.0 g, and the weight of the semitendinosus has been measured at between 84.7 — 220g (Wickiewicz et al. 1983; Ito et al. 2003; Horsman et al. 2007; Ward et al. 2009; Kellis et al. 2012).
