Unraveling Hamstring Injury Mechanisms and Eccentric Training Adaptations: Integrative Insights and Future Preventive Strategies

Hamstring injuries mainly occur during the late swing phase of running due to high eccentric forces and neural factors. Eccentric training reduces injury risk through complex muscle adaptations involving contractile, non-contractile, and neural components. Further research is essential to optimize prevention.
