What is a Nordic Hamstring Curl?[edit | edit source]
The Nordic Hamstring curl is an exercise that focuses on the hamstrings. The participant is in a kneeling position with their feet secured under a firm surface. They then lower themselves forward while maintaining the torso inline in line with the hips/thighs, then returns to the starting position.
Benefits[edit | edit source]
Several studies have found benefits in utilizing Nordic Hamstring training to decrease the incident of hamstring injuries in soccer players. One study had male soccer players doing a Nordic Hamstring curls twice a week for four weeks and found it increased knee flexor eccentric strength[1]. Other studies have found decreases in the incident of hamstring injuries in male soccer players when Nordic Hamstring curls are incorporated into their training[2][3]. It must noted, that even thought there is a recorded decrease in the hamstring injuries, the severity of the injuries were unchanged[2].
