Abstract

Introduction: Hamstring strain injury remains the most common injury in Australian Football (AF) despite a large body of research dedicated to understanding the associated risk factors. Modifiable risk factors such as hamstring strength deficits and lower limb flexibility measures have previously been identified with respect to increased risk of hamstring strain injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the variability of clinically feasible lower limb strength and flexibility tests pre- and post-AF match-play to determine their usefulness as injury prevention measures within a secondary prevention program (with the goal of early detection and intervention).
