Hamstrings consists of three muscles- biceps femoris, semimembranosus and semitendinosus located at the posterior thigh. You can get view of the these muscles my scrolling image towards left.

What are the benefits of Hamstring exercises?

The hamstrings are the muscles that helps us to move our legs powerfully and efficiently. These are the essential muscles for sprinting, running, walking etc.

Strengthening hamstring muscles will improve your functionality. On other hands, hamstring muscles are vulnerable to injury and strain, specially in athletes or sprinters. Strengthening the hamstring muscles can reduce the risk of Injury.

Acute Strain or injury to hamstring can be developed to chronic injury or even permanent damage if not treated and strengthen properly.

The nordic hamstring curl is a strength exercise that primarily works on the hamstring muscles.

How to do Nordic Hamstring Curl

Watch video to know how to perform Nordic hamstring curl. There are various other variations for example Assisted nordic hamstring curl, reverse nordic hamstring curl, barbell nordic hamstring curl etc.

Nordbord Hamstring Testing System

The nordbord hamstring testing system is a fast and easy way to measure eccentric and isometric hamstring strength.

There is ankle hooks in nordbord, which themselves are connected to two force cells that measure the force when the ankle hooks are being pulled while performing nordic hamstring curl.

The force measured by the two force cells is transmitted in real time to a host computer or tablet connected with nordbord hamstring testing system. you can similarly perform this test on force plate too.

From the data output you can look at force production by the hamstring muscles during eccentric or isometric movement. From this you can't only measure force production but you can use this data for progression of strength, or even you can work on symmetrically development of strength of both the hamstrings, as well as you can monitor the fatigue level of hamstring muscles.
