Quads are stronger than hamstrings by a (1/3 / 2/3) ratio.
2/3
The Point: strengthening hamstrings (increased/decreased) injury risk

Isometric hamstrings at 20 deg flexion and 60 deg flexion.

If you have a hamstring injury, (sagittal/frontal) plane movements will be the most affected so you start with (sagittal / frontal plane/transverse) plane activity and then progress to sagittal plane
sagittal; frontal/transverse
Hamstring strengthening, core stabilization and agility work is probably the best thing to do for hamstring recovery.

Hamstring Rehab
Phase I goals
Protect healing tissue
Avoid excessive active or passive lengthening of hamstrings
Minimize atrophy
Phase II goals
Regain (90%/pain free) hamstring strength
Develop neuromuscular control of trunk and pelvis
Phase III goals
Symptom free during (most/all) activity
Normal conc and ecc hamstring strength through (90%/full) ROM and speeds
Improved neuromuscular control of trunk and pelvis with sport specific movements
Phase 1 - Create a healing environment for the hs – don’t stretch it, but engage the hamstrings in noncommittal ways
pain free; all; full;

Phase 1
(Sagittal/Frontal) plane movements
Frontal
Criteria to progress to phase II
Normal walking stride (with limited/without) pain
Performs dynamic frontal plane movement (with limited/without) pain
Pain-free isometric contraction against submaximal resistance during (supine knee extension/prone knee flexion) (90°) manual strength test
without; without; prone knee flexion

Treatment Strategies
Hamstrings work…
In open chain: Decelerate knee (flexion/extension) at end of (stance/swing) phase
In closed chain:
In stance to facilitate hip (flexion/extension) at initial contact and knee (flexion/extension) during terminal stance (running)
The hamstrings and rectus abdominis are decelerators of pelvic anterior tilt throughout stance.
Consequence of short RF, weak RA?

Criteria to Progress to Phase III
(Almost full strength (4/5)/Full strength (5/5)) (with limited/without) pain during prone knee flexion (90°) manual strength test
(Limited pain/Pain-free) forward and backward jog, moderate intensity
Unilateral sagittal plane activity (with limited/without) pain
