    1) Jason, a 21-year old university student, is experiencing pain in the back of his right thigh after kicking a ball during a soccer game. He felt an immediate pull and had to limp off the field. 2) The most likely cause of Jason's pain is an overstretched hamstring muscle from the sudden explosive movement of kicking the ball. Factors like weak hamstrings, lack of stretching, and history of injury can increase the risk of hamstring injuries. 3) Jason likely sustained a hamstring strain. Muscle strains typically damage muscle fibers and their surrounding connective tissues due to excessive tension forces that cause the muscles to fail.

    AURORA
    Jason is a 21-year old university student presenting with pain presenting with
    pain in the back of his right thigh. The pain started yesterday during soccer
    game. Jason went to kick the ball and felt an immediate ‘pull’ in the back of his
    right upper thigh. He had to limp off the field and reported mild pain in his right
    hamstring muscles with most active moments involving knee flexion and
    extension. Jason can still walk around without too much discomfort.

    Q1) A muscle is strained or torn when excessive tension or tensile forces within
    the muscles cause muscle fibers and their surrounding connective tissues to fail.
    What type of muscle contraction is known to produce the most tension and
    contribute more to cellular damage?
    The type of muscle contraction that produces the most tension and contributes
    more to cellular damage is eccentric contraction. This is because the muscle fibres are
    stretched under the tension from a load or force greater than the muscles generate,
    causing the lengthening of muscles1.

    Q2) What is the most likely cause of Jason’s pain?


    The main cause of a hamstring injury is overstretching the hamstring muscles,
    especially when making sudden and explosive movements. There are several factors
    that can increase the risk of hamstring injury such as having weak hamstring muscles,
    not stretching before exercise, ignoring a tired body condition to keep exercising,
    having a history of hamstring injury, having poor muscle flexibility, old age2.

    Q3) Suggest what type of injury Jason has sustained and discuss what structures
    are typically damage in muscle strain?
