Attention athletes! Want to bulletproof your hamstrings in a more sport-specific manner? According to research, eccentric training (lengthening the muscle) can help prevent hamstring injuries, which often occur during the lengthening phase of movement. Make sure to contract your glutes during the movement and if you can't go all the way down, using bands can help. Don't let hamstring injuries hold you back from reaching your full potential on the field or court! #sportsperformance #injuryprevention #eccentrictraining #strength #speed #agility Bram Swinnen
Great outfit worn by the model. 😬

7moNordics can actually be for anybody. The lowering phase does not (as popular opinion displays) strain the muscle. This lengthening phase actually promotes greater elastic strength than previously thought. I have 70 year old clients doing nordics all the time. But these bands allow for a ton of adaptability!
