Hamstring muscle injuries (HSIs) are one of the most common injuries in sports. According to Jean-Louis Croisier in his article, Factors Associated with recurrent hamstring injuries, the most likely ones [factors contributing to HSIs] are inadequate warm-ups, invalid structure and the content of training, muscle tightness and/or weakness, agonist/antagonist imbalance, underestimation of an extensive injury, incomplete or aggressive rehabilitation, among a few others.
