Exercise to create a felt awareness for hamstring activity during the eccentric portion of knee extension.

The structural make-up of the hamstring group enable them to generate peak isometric forces. This is especially apparent during high intensity sprinting. During the different phases of the gait cycle the hamstrings rarely change their absolute length.

Since many people are short at the distal portion of their hamstrings (i.e. at the knees) this exercise will bring back competency to generate an appropriate force while becoming longer at this site.

Hamstring group must then be trained in a more contextual manner.
