Anatomical terms of muscle

A hamstring (/ˈhæmstrɪŋ/) is the three muscles in the back of the thigh. They are between the hip and the knee. The three hamstring muscles are the semimembranosus, semitendinosus and biceps femoris.[3][4]

Clinical importance

Sports running injuries

Hamstrings are often injured in many different sports.[4][5] When sprinting, too much muscle strain in the eccentric contraction phase (right before you lift your leg) can cause an injury.[4][5] Hamstring injuries in sports happens about 2 times per 1000 hours of performance.[4] In some sports hamstring injuries are 19% of all sports injuries.[4]
