et al 2 (posterior chain developer) may have contributed to differences. Differences may also stem from how the exercise was performed. Cuthbert et al 2 enforced a 1-second tempo for the concentric and eccentric phases with a pause at the top and bottom of the exercise, while the participants in

The countermovement jump (CMJ) and isometric hip abduction (IABS), adduction (IADS), and posterior chain (IPCS) strength tests are commonly used to profile neuromuscular performance and fatigue characteristics in elite-level academy football players. 1 – 7 Compulsory inclusion of CMJ testing in

fascial chains may have significant clinical implications in PF. Specific to the posterior chain recent evidence demonstrates the link between remote myofascial structures and PF. These studies demonstrate that poor extensibility of gastrocnemius and hamstrings muscles may be associated with PF. 15 , 16

smaller percentage of above-average scores when compared with US players. We could not find any previous research specifically addressing ASLR movement differences across cultures, but it is thought that adequate posterior-chain mobility and pelvic control are necessary to perform an ASLR. 5 These

activation. 4 These underlying causes for hamstring tightness could also lead to other pathologies, including lower back pain due to posterior pelvic tilting or other posterior chain issues. 5 Considering the range of dysfunctions related to hamstring tightness, often, a therapeutic intervention is

metabolic loads (Endurance) 7 , 33 that could affect posterior chain function may be involved. In fact, in a recent study, the reduction in sprinting capacity of Rugby sevens players following an intense session was largely correlated with the amount of supramaximal running distance during the session. 7

effective in creating increased ankle DF ROM, the addition of a dynamic DD stretch to a self-myofascial release session did produce a greater overall absolute change. It appears that the weight-bearing nature of DD increases overall tension throughout the posterior chain of the body, producing additive

increases of posterior back chain and rib cage mobility immediately after applying a diaphragmatic release technique compared with the placebo group. Similarly, Marizeiro et al 31 described improved chest wall mobility and improved posterior chain flexibility after applying a diaphragmatic release

the observed increases in mechanical sprint measures. Importantly, this case study was the first of knowledge to show that a training regime, predominantly targeting hip extensor strength capacities, reduced F H asymmetry. This finding is of note, given the prevalence of posterior chain injuries
