AB The Nordic Hamstring Exercise (NHE) improves the strength of thehamstring muscles, as well as prevents and rehabilitates the injuriesof said muscles. However, the eccentric demand of NHE may influencethe athlete’s performance, making compliance with theseprogrammes difficult. The aim is to analyse the acute impact onsprint performance after the passing of 24, 48, and 72 hours respectivelysince an NHE-based session (4 sets of 10 repetitions) hadtaken place. Participants were randomly divided into an experimentalgroup (EG) (n = 12 male participants) who carried out an NHEsession and a measurement of their 30 m sprint performance ineach of the three subsequent days, and a control group (CG) (n = 12male participants) who did not take part in the NHE session. Theresults show a significant reduction of maximum power within24 hours (t = 3.57, d = 0.22, P < .0273) as well of the production ofhigh speed horizontal force up to after 48 hours (t = 4.82, d = 0.22,P < .0001) in the EG. These results may suggest separating weeklyNHE sessions from competition or demanding training in whichsprint performance should not be affected by at least 72 hours.
