Influence of Resistance Training Variables and the Nordic Hamstring Exercise on Biceps Femoris Architectural Adaptations in Soccer Players: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Manipulation of resistance training variables influences the structural and functional adaptations of muscle, having a great impact on sport performance and hamstring injury prevention.

Objective

To analyze how the main resistance training variables affect the biceps femoris long head architecture in soccer players.

Data sources

Five databases were searched from inception to January 2024.

Study selection

Studies that included training intervention groups and measured muscle architecture adaptations before and after the training program in soccer players were included.

Study design

Systematic review with meta-analysis.

Level of evidence

Level 2.

Data extraction

Muscle thickness, fascicle length, and pennation angle were extracted fro
