hamstring group crosses the knee and the hip joint and therefore also assists with hip extension. During walking or running, these functions as an antagonist to the quads and acts as a decelerator of the lower leg. Along with the quads, the hamstrings help support the knee joint. Strong and flexible hamstrings, like strong quads, contribute to a strong stable base and help prevent injury by supporting the knee joint. Stronger hamstrings will not only increase your hip and low back strength, but they will also give your legs a full, well-rounded appearance.
