Hamstring
Strain

Hamstring strain occurs frequently
in active populations and is one of the more common lower-extremity
injuries. This injury is sometimes referred to in lay terms as
a pulled muscle. Hamstring strain could result from any activity,
but is caused most often by those involving sprinting, due to
the high force loads on the hamstrings. The hamstrings are particularly
susceptible to strain injury because of their anatomical structure
and biomechanical function.
