Hamstrings frequently 'let go' under eccentric load while only being trained concentrically. It's a shame more sports trainers don't know of the distinction. Well done with the write up. There was a great review of the factors contributing repeated hamstring injury in the journal Sports Medicine, Issue 34 (10), 2004. Worth a read.
