A picture with recognition value: an arrow from a player chases across the wing into open space. Explosive, expansive sprint steps - until, at the absolute maximum of movement, he abruptly begins to limp, grabs his back thigh and finally sinks to the ground.
Only the substitution follows with a pain-distorted face.
The list of prominent footballers with a back thigh injury is long.
No wonder, because more than every fourth injury – according to the statistics – is in the hamstring area.
The facts also state that the frequency of hamstring injuries has increased significantly over the past few years. This is a trend that can probably be attributed to the increasing physical intensity of modern football.
During a football match or training session, it is mainly indirect injury mechanisms, i.e. those without external impact, that can lead to long periods of absence.
Strains, fibrous or bundle tears – all of them are caused by the interaction of various factors, such as fatigue towards the end of the game or due to coordinative disorders within the respective muscle group.
A common problem in football players is also often a strength imbalance in the muscles of the anterior and posterior thigh. While we usually find extremely good strength values in the front thigh muscles, the back is usually weaker and immobile.
Our comeback program in the B42 Football App for a hamstring injury is divided into three phases. The first phase is for healing, the second for strengthening and the third phase leads directly back to the pitch – to a furious comeback.
For the following muscular injuries of the thigh, you can work on your comeback with our rehab concept:
Strain/hardening (nerve-muscle irritation)
muscle fiber tear/partial tear
muscle bundle tear (without surgery)
Bruise/"horse kiss
But of course, you can also train with it preventatively to protect yourself from the next injury in the long run.
So if you want to start honing your comeback today, you can get started right away. With the help of the B42 app, you'll be able to accelerate your way back onto the pitch without any additional tools, wherever and whenever you want, and come back stronger than ever before.
Together, let's take the fight to injuries in amateur football.
Be fearless. Be focused. B42.
By combining training and gaming, we're getting young people back on the pitch.
