Hamstring Injury
Hamstring Injury: Strains, Tears and Pulls
Hamstrings, together with the glutes, provide the power behind explosive movement and acceleration.
The powerful muscles at the back of your leg are at risk of tearing if they are not warmed up sufficiently or are fatigued. Hamstring tears usually occur in the middle of the muscle when the muscle fibres are stretched forcefully, as happens during running, especially explosive sprints, or kicking.
