Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Experts identified key sprinting technique factors contributing to hamstring strain injuries (HSI). Training prescription, particularly low exposure to maximal sprints, was deemed the most significant risk factor for HSI prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Exercise Physiology

Background:

  • Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are common in sprinting.
  • Identifying modifiable risk factors in sprinting technique is crucial for prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To gather expert consensus on sprinting technique components that pose a risk for hamstring strain injuries (HSI).
  • To prioritize these risk factors for developing effective HSI prevention strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods research design was employed.
  • Expert opinions were collected and analyzed using the groupwisdom™ web platform.
  • Participants brainstormed, sorted, and rated sprinting technique components for HSI risk.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-three experts contributed to identifying 60 statements on sprinting technique risk factors.
  • Multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis revealed five key clusters: Training prescription, Neuromuscular and tendon properties, Kinematics parameters/Technical skills, Kinetics parameters, and Hip mechanics.
  • Low exposure to maximal sprint running was rated highest in importance and confidence for HSI prevention.

Conclusions:

  • Training prescription emerged as the most critical cluster of risk factors for HSI.
  • Neuromuscular and tendon properties, kinematics/technical skills, kinetics, and hip mechanics followed in importance.
  • Expert consensus highlights specific areas within sprinting technique for targeted HSI prevention programs.
