Knickerbocker's theory emphasizes on the interdependence of major players in the same industry. Imitation is the name of the game where firms try to match each other's moves to keep each other in check so as not to allow a rival gain a competitive advantage over others.
hamstrings. extend the hip and flex the knee against resistance and are important knee stabilizers. help control hip flexion in weightbearing position by contracting eccentrically when the flexion occurs in same direction as gravity as dead lift or hip=hinge position.
A small portion of the hamstring muscle also spans across the hip joint and is involved in hip extension. The hamstring muscle fibers gradually become tendon fibers near the knee to attach to bone. One can appreciate the thick tendon bands when feeling behind the knee joint. The hamstring muscle is balanced by the quadriceps muscles on the front of the thigh that cause the knee to extend. Together the hamstrings and the quadriceps help control power and stability of the knee joint, allowing activities like walking, running, jumping, and squatting.
