Hamstring “Tantrums”: Effective Exercise or Social Media Noise?
In recent years, hamstring tantrums (also referred to as Swiss‑ball kicks or flutter kicks) have gained popularity, largely supported by EMG studies reporting high levels of hamstring activation during the exercise, and viral trending videos on social media. However, what's important to understand is that muscle activation alone is a poor criterion for judging the usefulness of an exercise.

Hamstrings Behaviour and Movement Expression: the Great Debate
Current evidence suggests that the hamstrings function primarily as an eccentric energy-absorbing brake during the late-swing phase, necessary to decelerate the lower limb and manage loads that exceed isometric capacity. However, the presence of long tendons and specific architectures in muscles like the BFlh ensures that tendon contributions and spring-like behavior are also vital.
The issue of hamstring behavior remains complex and multifactorial.

Introducing the Power Carriers of Human Performance
When it comes to locomotion, very few structures can be defined as fundamental in carrying over the responsibility of efficient performance as the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the foot.

A Deep Dive into the Hyperice Hyperboot
Around summer 2025, Hyperice has released (in partnership with Nike) a brand-new device called the Hyperboot.
This brand-new piece of equipment is basically the re-proposal of two of their patented technologies, i.e. Normatec Sequential Pulse and HyperHeat (already present on devices such as the Hyperice Venom 2), into a pair of hyper-futuristic shoes.

Fine-tuning the Sacroiliac Joint for Sport Performance
The sacroiliac joints (SIJs) are specialised structures that serve as stable yet slightly flexible connections between the lower limbs and the rest of the body, allowing efficient force transmission. These joints are large, flat, and combine both synovial and fibrous elements. Their highly congruent surfaces offer considerable friction, and strong ligaments further support their function, resulting in effective force transfer with minimal movement (Vleeming et al. , 2012).

Three (at least) Reasons Why You Should Care About Foot Performance
Every coach who really trains athletes on a daily basis and really knows the discriminants of human performance is aware of the fact that building the “perfect” performance machine is not a question of one single detail respect to others. Sports performance is a delicate balance between several aspects converging into one main goal: it’s the whole body synchrony merging into one specific output. Unfortunately social marketing is king today and some coaches, instead of showing
