Research Unpacked: Dr Andras Hegyi – Part 2 -Hamstring Research

For this second Research Unpacked style episode Alistair McKenzie chats to Dr Andras Hegyi a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nantes, France. For part two Alistair and Andras continue discussing his hamstring muscle research. 

Part two topics discussed: 

• Regional differences in a various of hamstring exercises typically used in rehab and strength and conditioning
• Overall muscle activity vs between muscle activation vs within-muscle differences 
• Perspectives on hamstring training for sprint performance and injury rehab – what are we trying to achieve?
• The affect if velocity on muscle activity 
• Clinical implications and from both studies and how they may influence decision making when prescribing exercises
• Future research
