Hamstring strains are one of the most common injuries in all of sports. Most commonly they are injured when sprinting. We have 3 different hamstring muscles, but the one that is most commonly strained is our "biceps femoris" which is the most lateral of our hamstring muscles, meaning that it is the furthest toward the outside of our leg.
