Sprint-Specific Eccentric Hamstring Strengthening

Description

You are seated with the knee of the working leg extended or slightly bent in front of you, and your heel resting on a Swiss ball. An elastic band placed around your ankle is pulled forward by a third person in front of you holding the ends of the elastic band. Gradually, you will bend your knee and bring the heel as close as possible to you by rolling your foot over the Swiss ball against the resistance of the elastic band. Then slowly return to the starting position.
