The Myotendinous Junction—A Vulnerable Companion in Sports. A Narrative Review

The Myotendinous Junction—A Vulnerable Companion in Sports. A Narrative Review

The incidence of strain injuries continues to be high in many popular sports, especially hamstring strain injuries in football, despite a documented important effect of eccentric exercise to prevent strains. Studies investigating the anatomical properties of these injuries in humans are sparse. The...
