Survey responses for adoption and maintenance in teams in which all players performed the Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) (n=5) and teams in which only some players performed NHE (n=11)
Team training (n=5) | Individual training (n=11) | |
Use of the initial NHE progression at the start of the season | Yes (n=3) | Yes (n=8) |
Use of the initial NHE progression, which players | All players (n=3) | Only previous hamstring injury (n=7), Other selection criteria (n=1) |
Use of the initial NHE progression, proportion of squad | >75% (n=2); <25% (n=1) | <25% (n=8) |
