A member asked:

Could have dynamic stretching during a soccer game could have caused a hamstring tear during a sprint shortly after?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Alan Ettinger answered

Most of the time stretching helps to prevent injury. I believe you injured the hamstring during a sudden burst of speed.
