A. Altered knee kinematics B. Impaired knee joint proprioception C. Poor hamstring flexibility D. All of the above are primary risk factors for hamstring strain

2. To prevent hamstring strain, traditional stretching exercise such as static, ballistic, or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching is recommended prior to exercise or sporting activities.

A. True B. False

3. Which of the following is a common test to examine the hamstring muscle flexibility?

A. The FABER test B. Patrick’s test C. The passive straight leg raise test D. Schober’s test

4. Muscle contraction during the lengthened or stretched state can alter all of the following, except for:
