    The hip flexors are muscles responsible for bending the hip and bringing the knee towards the chest, and are active during sprinting and kicking. Whenever these muscles contract or stretch under tension, force is placed on the muscle fibers. If this tension becomes excessive due to high repetition or force, the muscle fibers can tear, resulting in a hip flexor injury.
