In elite male football, hamstring injury has repeatedly been identified as the most common non\u2010contact injury, representing 12% of all injuries. As the incidence remains high, investigations are aimed at better understanding how to improve prevention efforts. Intrinsic risk factors such as strength have been investigated extensively in a cohort of professional football players; however, other intrinsic measures of neuromuscular function have not been studied in this cohort. This study aims to investigate the association between timing of hamstring muscle activity onset and the rate of torque development during the early phase of isokinetic strength testing with risk of hamstring injury in professional football players in a prospective cohort study. All teams (n\u00a0=\u00a018) eligible to compete in the premier football league in Qatar underwent a comprehensive strength assessment during their annual periodic health evaluation at Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital in Doha, Qatar. Variables included rate of torque development and timing of muscle activity onset. A total of 367 unique players (60.6% of all <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">QSL<\/jats:styled-content> players) competed for 514 player seasons (103 players competed both seasons) and sustained 65 hamstring injuries. There was no difference in the onset of muscle activity between the biceps femoris and medial hamstrings comparing the injured to uninjured players. For both onset of muscle activity and rate of torque development, there were no significant differences between any of the variables (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&gt;\u00a0.05), with small effect sizes detected across all the different variables (d\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.3). Rate of torque development and onset of muscle activity were not associated with a risk of future hamstring injury. The use of these measures as part of a periodic health evaluation to identify risk of hamstring injury is unsupported.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/sms.13224","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,23]],"date-time":"2018-05-23T23:34:28Z","timestamp":1527118468000},"page":"2153-2163","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["No association between rate of torque development and onset of muscle activity with increased risk of hamstring injury in elite football"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0724-5997","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"N.","family":"van Dyk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rehabilitation Department Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital, Aspire Zone Foundation  Doha Qatar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Bahr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital  Doha Qatar"},{"name":"Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Norwegian School of Sport Sciences  Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.
