Abstract
This study aimed to determine whether changes in hamstrings passive and active shear modulus after a warmup protocol are correlated. Twenty males without a history of hamstring strain injury participated. Muscle shear modulus was assessed using ultrasound-based shear wave elastography at rest and during isometric contractions at 20% of maximal voluntary isometric effort before and immediately after a warmup protocol. Changes in passive shear modulus did not seem to be associated with changes in active shear modulus. The results of this study suggest that changes in passive and active hamstring shear modulus are not associated after a standardized warmup intervention.
