Impact of Nordic hamstring breaking point angle on football player performance

The study identified significant relationships between NHEbpa and sprint/CMJ performances (<i>p</i> < 0.05), while no meaningful effect was observed for COD speed (<i>p</i> > 0.05). These findings highlight the importance of eccentric strength in sprint performance, suggesting that other factors may play a more prominent role in COD. Incorporating eccentric-focused training, particularly through Nordic exercises, is recommended to enhance sprint performance and hamstring strength, which are essential for football players.

Abstract

The study identified significant relationships between NHEbpa and sprint/CMJ performances (<i>p</i> < 0.05), while no meaningful effect was observed for COD speed (<i>p</i> > 0.05). These findings highlight the importance of eccentric strength in sprint performance, suggesting that other factors may play a more prominent role in COD. Incorporating eccentric-focused training, particularly through Nordic exercises, is recommended to enhance sprint performance and hamstring strength, which are essential for football players.
