Criterion validity and reliability of the single leg hamstring bridge and isometric hamstring test to assess hamstring muscle capacity
Introduction: Hamstring strain injury (HSI) is problematic in many sports. The identification of athletes at risk of HSI and the implementation of injury prevention measures is an approach to manage this issue. The ability to identify these athletes is dependent on using valid and reliable screening tests. While isokinetic dynamometry is an accepted method of assessing muscle strength, there is a need for inexpensive, valid and reliable field tests to assess the hamstring muscle capacity of athletes.
