Kinematic and electromyographic effects of different execution modalities during the Nordic Hamstring Exercise

< 0.01). The more extended knee positioning was accompanied by altered thigh and shank orientation. These findings indicate that NHE execution modality substantially influences movement mechanics and neuromuscular demand. For standardised testing and training, rigid heel fixation combined with controlled kneeling height and consistent setup conditions is recommended.

Abstract

< 0.01). The more extended knee positioning was accompanied by altered thigh and shank orientation. These findings indicate that NHE execution modality substantially influences movement mechanics and neuromuscular demand. For standardised testing and training, rigid heel fixation combined with controlled kneeling height and consistent setup conditions is recommended.
