View the full guide02 WHY IT WORKS
Up to 51% fewer hamstring injuries.
70% lower risk of a hamstring injury86% less likely to come back
Without: 1 in 7 players per season, out for 3 to 5 weeks2. With Nordic curls: about 70% fewer3.After two injuries: a 28% chance per season4. With Nordic curls it comes back 86% less often5.
Hamstring injuries are becoming more common
In 21 seasons of European pro football, their share doubled to 1 in 4 injuries6. 61% occurred while running or sprinting.
Alone, the exercise fails. With Nordbelt it works.
Top clubs: 16 of 150 seasons completed7
Sticking with it is hard: 69% of amateur footballers never did it8. With Nordbelt you train alone, at home at the door.
Those who keep going have 65% fewer injuries
From a meta-analysis9. Across all participants together, including those who dropped out, the effect was uncertain.
Your hamstrings get stronger while they brake
Feet locked in. Lean forward slowly from your knees.Your hamstrings brake the fall and get stronger as they lengthen.Catch yourself with your hands and push back up.
Strong brakes: more than 4× lower injury risk
Measured in 152 professional footballers10. Ten weeks of Nordic curls gave a large increase in braking power11.
Bonus: 0.06 seconds faster over 10 metres
Averaged over 17 studies in team sport athletes12. A small difference, but you reach the ball just sooner.
Ten weeks to build up, then 1× a week
That is how the players trained in the Danish football study5. The schedule comes with Nordbelt.

This result concerns training programmes that include NHE; it does not show that Nordbelt itself prevents injuries. Always use a stable anchor and check every connection. With an injury, rehab or a return to sport, follow the advice of your doctor or physiotherapist.

07 THE STORY
Born from
a real injury.
When I suffered a hamstring injury, I noticed how difficult it was to train properly at home without expensive equipment or help from others. That's why I developed Nordbelt.
- 01
From experience
It started with a real training problem, not a marketing idea.
- 02
Developed by a doctor
Then refined with physiotherapists and athletes in the field.
- 03
Made in Rotterdam
A simple product that just does what it should.

09 FAQ
One more question
before you order?
Everything in one place, no small print behind the buy button.
A personal question?
contact@nordbelt.com
We usually respond within 1 business day.
How do I use Nordbelt?
Choose a sturdy door, weight bench, fence or beam. Click the buckle shut, adjust the length, give the strap a tug to test the setup and start slowly.
What is included in the package?
The Nordbelt, a compact storage bag, a clear guide and a training plan for ten weeks.
Do I need a training partner or bench?
No. Nordbelt is made for training on your own, without a Nordic bench. You do always need a sturdy, stable anchor.
Is this suitable for recovery or rehabilitation?
Nordbelt is a training tool, not a treatment. If you’re recovering from an injury, decide with your doctor or physiotherapist when and how hard you train.
What does shipping cost?
Shipping is free. Order before 22:00, shipped the same day.
Can I return it?
You can request a return within 30 days of receipt. The product must be unused, clean and in its original packaging. Return shipping costs are paid by the buyer.
Is Nordbelt suitable for beginners?
Yes. Start with a small range and catch yourself with your hands. Keep every rep controlled and follow the training plan. Stop if your technique breaks down or if it hurts.
Which anchor points are safe?
Only use a fixed door, heavy weight bench, sturdy fence or fixed beam that cannot open, slide or tip. Before every set, pull the strap firmly in the same direction as the load will come.
How often can I train Nordic Hamstring Curls?
It differs from person to person. The training plan is a good starting point. Match your reps and recovery time to your level, your other training and your technique.
Where does the 51% fewer hamstring injuries claim come from?
The 51% refers to programmes that included the Nordic Hamstring Exercise, not to Nordbelt as a product. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 8,459 athletes (van Dyk, Behan & Whiteley, Br J Sports Med, 2019) reported a reduction of up to 51%; individual results are not guaranteed.
