Abstract

Of the most common injuries to athletes are injuries to the hamstring muscles. This injury requires a long reconvalescence and has a high risk of re-injury after returning to the sport.

Many studies have recently shown that the current early exercise strengthens the muscle and at the same time the stabilization body and elimination muscle imbalance exercise significantly reduces treatment time and minimizes the risk of repeated injury of the hamstring. This article aims to show the exact treatment plan and individual exercises.

This type of conditioning is scheduled in several phases, the athlete moves to the next stage after meeting stringent criteria and thus minimizes the risk of getting hurt again. It also includes the practice to stabilize the body and the drill to eliminate muscle imbalances that have the greatest influence on the fact that the muscle injury does not return.

In following the above mentioned recommendations the risk of getting injured again is being substantially reduced and recovery time necessary for healing of the muscle shortens. These exercises can be used as a prevention of hamstrings injury.
