What are Hamstring Stretches?
The hamstrings are tendons that attach the long muscles behind the thighs to the back of the knees. Technically, the word “hamstrings” refers to these tendons, with “hamstring muscles” meaning the actual muscles. However, most people refer to the muscles as the hamstrings. Hamstring stretches are exercises that stretch the long group of hamstring muscles, increasing flexibility and preventing injury.
