• Regional differences in a various of hamstring exercises typically used in rehab and strength and conditioning
• Overall muscle activity vs between muscle activation vs within-muscle differences 
• Perspectives on hamstring training for sprint performance and injury rehab - what are we trying to achieve?

• Clinical implications and from both studies and how they may influence decision making when prescribing exercises
• Future research
