Hamstring muscle kinematics during treadmill sprinting
Article Abstract:
The study aims to characterize hamstring muscle kinematics during sprinting, so as to provide scientific data to better understand injury mechanisms and differences in injury rates between muscles. It is concluded that intermuscle differences in hamstring moment arms about the hip and knee may be a factor contributing to the greater propensity for hamstring strain injuries to occur in the biceps femoris (BF) muscle.

A nonlinear rheological assessment of muscle recovery from eccentric stretch injury
Article Abstract:
Nonlinear analysis of the healing skeletal muscle for tissue mechanical recovery assesment reveals increased toe-in region compliance and dereased linear-range stiffness in injured tissue one-day after injury and steady recovery over a seven-day period. Data do not show any differences between injured and uninjured tissue behavior at day 7.

Oxidant production and immune response after stretch injury in skeletal muscle
Article Abstract:
This article discusses the relationship between muscle injury, oxidant production, and immune response. An analysis of myeloperoxidase, xanthine oxidase, and antioxidant enzyme activity is presented.
