As a continuation of our previous study, this study was aimed to examine the relationship between hamstring flexibility and peak hamstring muscle strains in sprinting. METHODS: Ten male and 10 female college students participated in this study. Hamstring flexibility, isokinetic strength data, three-dimensional (3D) kinematic data in a hamstring isokinetic test, and kinematic data in a sprinting test were collected for each participant. The optimal hamstring muscle lengths and peak hamstring muscle strains in sprinting were determined for each participant. RESULTS: = 0.001) but not to hip and knee joint positions at the time of peak hamstring muscle strains. Peak hamstring muscle strains were not different for different genders. Peak muscle strains of biceps long head (0.071 ± 0.059) and semitendinosus (0.070 ± 0.055) were significantly greater than that of semimembranosus (0.064 ± 0.054). CONCLUSION: A potential for hamstring injury exists during the late swing phase of sprinting. Peak hamstring muscle strains in sprinting are negatively correlated to hamstring flexibility across individuals. The magnitude of peak muscle strains is different among hamstring muscles in sprinting, which may explain the different injury rate among hamstring muscles.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.9318256327243257,"endowment":3.9318256327243257,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"30356628","pmcid":"PMC6189015","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2602404164","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"National Natural Science Foundation of China","grant_id":"81572212","title":null},{"funder_name":"Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities of China","grant_id":"2016BS013","title":null}],"total_grants":2,"fwci":4.1663,"citation_percentile":0.94344201,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2017,"count":2},{"year":2018,"count":3},{"year":2019,"count":10},{"year":2020,"count":5},{"year":2021,"count":7},{"year":2022,"count":3},{"year":2023,"count":5},{"year":2024,"count":4},{"year":2025,"count":6},{"year":2026,"count":5}],"oa_status":"gold","license":"cc-by-nc-nd","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2095254617300480/pdf","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2095254617300480/pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S2095254617300480?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S2095254617300480?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jshs.2017.03.012","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30356628","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://doaj.org/article/328ebb3798614530aa2c9e1c2650c605","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/6189015","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC6189015","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC6189015?pdf=render","host_type":"Europe_PMC"}],"fields_of_study":["Sports injuries and prevention","Sports Performance and Training","Knee injuries and reconstruction techniques"],"mesh_terms":[],"keywords":["Hamstring","Biceps","Flexibility (engineering)","Strain (injury)","Medicine","Hamstring injury","Physical medicine and rehabilitation","Hamstring muscles","Physical therapy","Mathematics","Poison control","Injury prevention","Injury Risk Factor","Muscle Strain","Hamstring Flexibility","Muscle Strain Injury","Muscle Biomechanics","Hamstring Muscle Strain Injury"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-03T22:41:43.398218Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
