  "abstract": "My PhD provided knowledge on the motor control of fast lower limb movements and determined the role of movement rate and the associated brain and muscle activity on football hamstring strain injuries. I measured movement rate, as well as brain and muscle activity, during a maximum-speed repetitive knee flexion-extension task in footballers with and without hamstring strain injury history. To determine whether the differences found were segment-specific, leg and finger movement rate were also compared.",
