"Jason is a 21-year-old university student presenting with pain in the back of his right thigh: The pain started yesterday during soccer game_ Jason went to kick the ball and felt an immediate 'pull' in the back of his right upper thigh: He had to limp off the field and reported mild pain in his right hamstring muscles with most active movements involving knee flexion and extension. Jason can still walk around without too much discomfort. ch A muscle is strained or torn when excessive tension or tensile forces within the muscle cause muscle fibres and their surrounding connective tissues to fail. What type of muscle contraction is known to produce the most tension and contribute more to cellular damage?"
