Hamstring injuries are common across athletes and recreational exercisers alike. This course equips coaches and trainers with practical knowledge to understand hamstring anatomy, identify risk factors, and apply effective prevention and rehabilitation strategies. Through evidence‑based techniques like eccentric training and mobility progression, learners will gain tools to build stronger, more resilient hamstrings.

By the end of the course, learners will be able to:

• Describe the anatomy and function of the hamstring complex.
• Identify risk factors and mechanisms contributing to hamstring injury.
• Apply eccentric and mobility‑based strategies for prevention and rehabilitation.
• Integrate hamstring training into performance programmes safely and effectively.
