Preventing Football's #1 Injury: Hamstring Strains
Hamstring injuries remain the most common injury in football, but they are not inevitable.
In the latest edition of the Aspetar Sports Medicine Journal, experts explore evidence-based strategies to prevent football’s #1 injury, helping players stay healthy, available, and performing at their best. ⚽️
Discover the latest insights on injury prevention and learn how science is shaping the future of football medicine ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

From a strength-training perspective, I view the hamstrings primarily as hip extensors rather than knee flexors. Consequently, we prioritize training them in that role alongside the other hip extensors.
Since muscle fibers produce about 1.8 times as much force eccentrically as concentrically, only 55% of the fibers need to be activated to generate the same amount of whole muscle force. This changes how we think about how hypertrophy is stimulated by strength training.
🚨NEW PAPER🚨
The "Swiss Ball Jump" is a very practical way to stimulate (thus likely develop) faster lower limb extension. Faster than Squat Jump, clearly.
A force-plate based comparison🔬, nice work published @SportPerfSciR by our Masters students 🧑🏻🎓👏

Quad tendon: 2x the cross-sectional area of patellar tendon, 38% greater load to failure, 68% greater stiffness, and less harvest-site pain (Shani et al., 2016). Re-rupture rate: QT 2.5% vs. hamstring 8.7%, p=0.01 (Hurley et al., 2022). A meta-analysis of 2,962 patients across 32 RCTs found QT superior to both BTB and hamstring on key outcome measures (Yang et al., 2020). BTB is still a great graft, but the data on QT keeps getting stronger.

In this video, I explain what eccentric peak velocity (EPV) represents and how it can be used as a gatekeeper metric in athlete testing.

⚽️ Clarifying the concept of match load!
New paper: Proposing a practical framework to better define match load and its contextual influences in professional football.
Understanding the interaction between training and match demands is essential for informed load management, training prescription, and return-to-play decisions. This framework guides practitioners in integrating match load into evidence-based athlete monitoring.
