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.
