The purpose of this narrative review is to examine the efficacy of flywheel inertia training to increase hamstring strength. Hamstring strain injury is common in many sports, and baseline strength deficits have been associated with a higher risk of hamstring strain injury. As a result, strength and conditioning professionals actively seek additional techniques to improve hamstring strength with the aim of minimising the incidence of hamstring strain injury. One method of strength training gaining popularity in hamstring strength development is flywheel inertia training. In this review, we provide a brief overview of flywheel inertia training and its supposed adaptions. Next, we discuss important determinants of flywheel inertia training such as familiarisation, volume prescription, inertia load, technique and specific exercise used. Thereafter, we investigate its effects on hamstring strength, fascicle length and hamstring strain injury reduction. This article proposes that hamstring specific flywheel inertia training can be utilised for strength development, but due to the low number of studies and contrary evidence, more research is needed before a definite conclusion can be made. In addition, as with any training modality, careful consideration should be given to flywheel inertia training determinants. This review provides general recommendations of flywheel inertia training determinants that have value when integrating flywheel inertia training into a hamstring strengthening program.
本叙述性综述的目的是研究飞轮惯性训练对增加腘绳肌力量的有效性。腘绳肌拉伤在许多运动中都很常见，基线力量不足与腘绳肌拉伤的较高风险相关。因此，体能训练专业人员积极寻求其他技术来提高腘绳肌力量，以尽量减少腘绳肌拉伤的发生率。在腘绳肌力量发展中越来越受欢迎的一种力量训练方法是飞轮惯性训练。在本综述中，我们简要概述了飞轮惯性训练及其假定的适应性。接下来，我们讨论飞轮惯性训练的重要决定因素，如熟悉程度、训练量规定、惯性负荷、技术和使用的特定练习。此后，我们研究其对腘绳肌力量、肌束长度和减少腘绳肌拉伤的影响。本文提出，针对腘绳肌的飞轮惯性训练可用于力量发展，但由于研究数量较少且存在相反证据，在得出明确结论之前还需要更多研究。此外，与任何训练方式一样，应仔细考虑飞轮惯性训练的决定因素。本综述提供了将飞轮惯性训练纳入腘绳肌强化计划时具有价值的飞轮惯性训练决定因素的一般建议。
