These results are in conflict with the alterations of
biceps femoris muscle during jump in another study.
This theory is based on an observed partial attachment of the long head of the
biceps femoris muscle to the sacrotuberous ligament, which bridges the sacroiliac joint.

biceps femoris muscle architecture and knee joint range of movement.
The long head of the
biceps femoris muscle is considered to be the prime mover of hip extension and external rotation knee accessory.
The common peroneal nerve is also at risk during this approach as it branches off the tibial nerve and descends along the medial margin of the
biceps femoris muscle. A lesion to this nerve will result in "foot drop" due to paralysis of the muscles responsible for foot dorsiflexion.
The common peroneal nerve originates from the sciatic nerve, passes posteriorly and laterally to the
biceps femoris muscle in the popliteal fossa, crosses the head of the fibula, and descends the lower leg.
The pH of
biceps femoris muscle was measured in triplicates following the procedure of Bendall (1973) using a portable pH meter (Sentron Argus-X, Roden, Netherland).
Three investigations did precisely identify the long head as the specific component of the
biceps femoris muscle that was most frequently injured (De Smet and Best, 2000; Garrett et al., 1989; Slavotinek et al., 2002), while one also described five minor injuries involving the short head (Slavotinek et al., 2002).

biceps femoris muscle. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 22, 809-817.
ABSTRACT : The effects of salt and bicarbonate solution on overall meat quality in beef
biceps femoris muscle were investigated with the application of chilling and freezing conditions.
In our study, there were no differences in
biceps femoris muscle (antagonist) activations among conditions.
Body weight and the weights of half-carcass, fetal leg, liver, kidney, lung, heart, semitendinosus muscle, and
biceps femoris muscle were recorded.
