Hamstring activation in variants of the Romanian Deadlift: A functional Mri and surface EMG study

Clayton, Zane (2021) Hamstring activation in variants of the Romanian Deadlift: A functional Mri and surface EMG study. Master of Philosophy thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Hamstring strain injuries continue to be expensive and time consuming for running based sports. Of the hamstring group, the biceps femoris long head is the most often injured. To date, hamstring injury rehabilitation and prevention methods have focussed predominantly on knee flexion exercises, despite the fact that hip extension exercises better activate this muscle. The aim of this thesis was to compare hamstring activation during variants of the hip extension based Romanian deadlift, to explore the patterns of hamstring and other hip extensor muscle activation. Data from this thesis can be used as a basis for future training studies.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
