ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying the effects of two different types of exercise programs on athletes recovering from hamstring injuries. The goal is to see which type of exercise—progressive eccentric exercises or bodyweight exercises—helps improve agility, power, and overall physical performance after a hamstring strain. The trial is open to athletes aged 18 and older who have had a mild to moderate hamstring strain, but not those who have had a complete tear or surgery in the last six months.
Participants who qualify will be randomly assigned to one of the two exercise groups. Each group will follow a specific exercise program over a set period. If you or someone you know is an athlete recovering from a hamstring strain and meets the criteria, this trial could be a great opportunity to contribute to important research while getting support in your recovery process.
