It is suggested that this works due to the ability of the exercise to increase the peak eccentric force of the hamstrings at shallower angles of knee flexion (the knee is more extended) vs. a leg curl which puts a premium on concentric force when the knee is in full flexion.

Designed for control with your hands or feet, Edge - Board ™ trainer gives you the flexibility to do a wide range of core and full - body training exercises — from lunges and abdominal extensions to hamstring curls, push - ups and pike - ups, all while the removable device tray securely holds your smartphone for training with the M - Trac ™ App.

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

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).

Some exercises appear to target the medial hamstrings to a greater extent (e.g. kettlebell swings and deadlifts) while other exercises target the lateral hamstrings more (e.g. leg curls and back extensions).
