Research Study at the Sports Optimization and Rehabilitation Lab
PARTICIPANTS WANTED for a research study to examine the role of intramuscular stiffness and muscle strain during movement the University of Connecticut, Kinesiology Department.
Purpose: To assess the validity and reliability of intramuscular stiffness as a measure of localized muscle strain. Information from this study will contribute to improved prediction and prevention of injury, as well as improved rehabilitation of injured individuals, and likely improve return-to-play procedures for athletes. Testing will consist of a single visit lasting approximately 2 hours.
Eligibility requirements:
- Males and females ages 18 to 35
- Recreationally active
- No previous hamstring injuries within the last 12 months
