The head physio at one of the UK premiership football clubs has just finished a big study looking at this topic (I am wracking my brain but i can't recall name or club, when I remember or find his presentation I will post it). He performed a pre season screening of all their players (inc academy etc)including sacro-iliac orientation and performance of slump, active knee extension and a number of other strength/flexibility measures. He suggested that the preliminary data pointed to a higher occurence of hamstring strain in players with a relative restriction in neural mobility. He also found that a unilateral posterior (I am going off memory so I may be wrong) rotation of the ipsilateral sacro iliac joint appeared to be correlated with increased incidence of hamstring strain.
