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.
