Abstract
Hamstring injuries (LI) are common in sports that involve high-speed efforts. It has been postulated that eccentric training (EE) could be useful to prevent these injuries but there are discrepancies in the studies conducted so far. Thus, a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials was conducted to determine the effectiveness of EE to prevent LI in soccer players. Of 39 records, 5 were included in the final analysis. The risk of bias of these was medium or low. In four of five studies, a reduction in the incidence of LI was demonstrated. By meta-analysis, the risk ratio for LI was 0.43 [0.24-0.76; p = 0.002]. In conclusion, the use of EE during the preseason decreases the risk of LI in both amateur and professional football players by 57%.
