Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of acceleration-deceleration exercise in small spaces on the strength of the hamstring muscle and ideally prevent it from a possible injury. A significant number of previous studies have shown that the negative effect of exercises using acceleration and deceleration on hamstring injury is due to the maximum use of intensity. Instead, in this study we have used moderate intensity in small spaces. on The idea was that acceleration-deceleration exercises have the same mechanism of contraction(contracting and extending) with strength training despite the different way they function, and through that development of strength we can prevent the hamstring muscle from injury. A training program was composed of 12 sessions using a preliminary data set(n=12) and an experimental approach . The results showed that these exercises have unclear effects on hamstring strength but they could contribute potential prevention of hamstring injury
