Balancing Strength and mobility: Advanced techniques for hamstring conditioning in cricket athletes

Abstract Hamstring conditioning plays a pivotal role in enhancing performance, injury prevention, and recovery for cricket athletes. This study examines advanced hamstring training techniques, integrating eccentric strength exercises, mobility enhancement strategies, and neuromuscular activation drills to optimize athletic function. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted on 50 cricket athletes, comparing the efficacy of eccentric strength training (Nordic hamstring exercises) and muscle energy techniques (MET) on hamstring flexibility, strength, and neuromuscular efficiency. Results demonstrated a 19.3% increase in peak hamstring torque, 15.3% improvement in mobility, and 48.9% enhancement in neuromuscular activation among participants undergoing eccentric training interventions. Findings underscore the importance of balancing strength and mobility protocols to minimize injury risks and maximize explosive performance. Future research should explore long-term adaptations and machine learning applications in predictive injury modeling to refine personalized rehabilitation protocols.
