Hamstring Injuries: Evidence-Based Training Methods for Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Performance
In this course, scientist and elite athlete Bas Van Hooren discusses the latest insights into the development of hamstring injuries, the risk factors, and how to train these factors to prevent injuries and improve rehabilitation. There is also a practical component where the theoretical concepts are applied, and participants can experience the exercises themselves.
Learning Objectives and Goals:
- Understand how hamstring injuries occur during activities such as sprinting and acceleration.
- Understand which (trainable) risk factors contribute to hamstring injuries.
- Learn how to train these risk factors effectively.
- Apply exercises aimed at preventing and rehabilitating hamstring injuries.
Topics covered include:
- Acute vs. overuse hamstring injuries.
- Eccentric vs. isometric actions of the hamstrings during sprinting.
- Eccentric, concentric, and isometric strength training.
- Sprint training and sprint technique.
- Muscle fiber length.
- Predictive value of various tests.
- Hip vs. knee-dominant exercises.
- Neural inhibition.
- Intramuscular coordination.
- Fatigue resistance.
- Strength and more.
Accreditation for Physiotherapists:
The course is accredited by the Kwaliteitshuis Fysiotherapie of KNGF and Keurmerk.
