A previous hamstring injury affects kicking mechanics in soccer players.
Although the kicking skill is influenced by limb dominance and sex, how a previous hamstring injury affects kicking has not been studied in detail. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sex and limb dominance on kicking in limbs with and without a previous hamstring injury. ⋯ Therefore, the effects of a previous hamstring injury must be considered while designing rehabilitation programs to re-educate kicking movement.
