The hamstrings are a group of three muscles in the back of the thigh from the hip to just below the knee and are responsible and important for many activities such as extending the leg, moving the thigh bone backwards, standing to jumping and sprinting.
They are not used much when walking or standing but are very active when bending the knee.
A hamstring injury involves straining or pulling one of the three muscles.
