What are the specific movements of the hamstrings?

The hamstrings are a group of three muscles located at the back of the thigh: the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. Their primary movements include knee flexion, which involves bending the knee, and hip extension, which involves moving the thigh backward. Additionally, the hamstrings assist in stabilizing the pelvis and can contribute to hip internal and external rotation, depending on the position of the hip joint.
