Introduction: Hamstring strain injuries typically occur in the
proximal biceps femoris long head (BFlh) at high running speeds. Strain magnitude seems to be the primary determinant of strain injury,
and may be regulated by muscle activation. In running, BFlh strain is largest in the proximal region, especially at high speeds. However,
region-specific activity has not been examined. This study examined the proximal–distal and intermuscular activity of BFlh and
semitendinosus (ST) as a function of increasing running speed. Methods: Thirteen participants ran at steady speeds of 4.1 (slow), 5.4 (moderate),
and 6.8 m·s−1 (fast) on a treadmill. Region- and muscle-specific EMG activity were recorded at each speed using high-density EMG, and were
normalized to maximal voluntary isometric activity. Muscle–tendon unit lengths were calculated from kinematic recordings. Speed effects,
regional, and intermuscular differences were tested with Statistical Parametric Mapping. Results: With increasing running speed,
EMG activity increased in all regions of both muscles to a similar extent in the clinically relevant late swing phase. Increases in
muscle–tendon unit lengths in late swing as a function of running speed were comparatively small. In fast running, EMG activity
was highest in late swing in all regions, and reached 115% ± 20% (proximal region, mean ± 95% confidence limit), 106% ± 11% (middle),
and 124% ± 16% (distal) relative to maximal voluntary isometric activity in BFlh. Regional and intermuscular EMG patterns
were highly individual, but each individual maintained similar proximal–distal and intermuscular EMG activity patterns across running speeds.
Conclusions: Running is associated with highly individual hamstring activity patterns, but these patterns are similar across speeds. It may thus be
crucial to implement running at submaximal speeds early after hamstring injury for restoration of normal neuromuscular function.

How does a simulated soccer match affect regional differences in biceps femoris muscle architecture?
Gonçalves, Basílio A. M. (2017)Soccer is played by thousands of athletes across the globe and its participation increases the overall risk of injury, in particular, hamstring strain injuries (HSI). Biceps femoris (BF) has been shown to be involved the ... -
Distinct muscle-tendon interaction during running at different speeds and in different loading conditions
Werkhausen, Amelie; Cronin, Neil; Albracht, Kirsten; Bojsen-Møller, Jens; Seynnes, Olivier R. (American Physiological Society, 2019)The interaction between the Achilles tendon and the triceps surae muscles seems to be modulated differently with various task configurations. Here we tested the hypothesis that the increased forces and ankle joint work ... -

Comparing Surface and Fine-wire Electromyography Activity of Lower Leg Muscles at Different Walking Speeds
Péter, Annamária; Andersson, Eva; Hegyi, András; Finni, Taija; Tarassova, Olga; Cronin, Neil; Grundström, Helen; Arndt, Anton (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2019)Ankle plantar flexor muscles are active in the stance phase of walking to propel the body forward. Increasing walking speed requires increased plantar flexor excitation, frequently assessed using surface electromyography ... -
