Strong Hamstrings, Stable Runs Fatigue's Impact on Kinematics

Abstract

Finch Lauren*

This study investigates the impact of strong hamstrings on stable running and fatigue-induced changes in kinematics. The hamstring muscle group plays a critical role in stabilizing the lower extremities during dynamic movements such as running. However, the extent to which hamstring strength affects running stability and the susceptibility to fatigue-induced alterations in running mechanics remains unclear. Through biomechanical analysis, this research explores how individuals with strong hamstrings maintain stability in running gait and how fatigue alters their kinematic patterns. Understanding these relationships can provide valuable insights into injury prevention strategies and performance optimization for runners.
