Conclusion

Most hamstring injuries in women’s football are non-contact and occur during sprinting and running, similar to what has previously been reported from men’s football. However, we found more hamstring injuries with a gradual onset and a greater proportion involving the semimembranosus, especially the proximal tendon, compared to previous literature from men’s professional football.
