Hamstring Readiness Monitoring

Hamstring readiness monitoring blends tightness, hop symmetry, strength trends, and sleep—traffic-light decisions before sprint and COD sessions.

Hamstring readiness monitoring combines subjective tightness, hop symmetry, NordBord-style strength trends when available, and HRV or sleep—single metrics rarely tell the story. Green light sprint and COD work; yellow reduces volume; red is technique-only or rest.

Prior strain history lowers thresholds.

Common questions

  • Is mild hamstring tightness okay before sprints?

    Persistent one-sided tightness or pain with hops is not okay—swap to technique or bike. Bilateral light stiffness after a rest day may allow submax work if hops are symmetric.
