Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of hamstring strength intervention on the lower extremity biomechanics. Fourteen college students volunteered to participate in this study, and underwent three weekly sessions of hamstring strength intervention for eight weeks. Three-dimensional kinematic and kinetic data during a sprint test (40 m) were collected before and after the intervention. The hip flexion angle, knee flexion angle at touch down and peak knee flexion angle instant, and peak knee extension moment during stance phase showed significant decreases in the post-intervention test compared to the pre-intervention test. The hip and knee joints were more extended in stance phase after intervention. Hamstring strength intervention may reduce the risk of hamstring strains and other knee injuries.
