Cover Story: Most HSIs have been reported to occur during high-intensity sprinting actions. This observation has led to the suggestion that optimising sprinting biomechanics might be a strategy worth considering in the prevention and rehabilitation of HSIs. The aim of this literature review was to evaluate the available scientific evidence underpinning the potential link between sprinting biomechanics and HSIs. Whilst the studies completed to date have delivered some interesting insights and stimulated some new directions for future research, collectively, the results from such studies do not currently provide a clear and non-conflicting perspective on the potential link between sprinting biomechanics and HSIs.
