Lack of hamstring tension causes increased ACL strain in a simulated jump landing

In these experiments ACL strain under more physiological loading levels associated with landing a jump with precontracted quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscles was investigated. The (null) hypothesis that, compared with the presence of a hamstring force, lack of hamstring forces would not affect the peak strain measured in the anteromedial bundle of the ACL, was tested.
