Strength and power asymmetries have been observed in different sports, including soccer.
Such asymmetries, as well as the bilateral deficit (BLD), can be assessed during different …

Background: Previous research has reported a strong relationship between vertical jumping,
sprinting, and agility, as a reflection of lower-limb power. Unilateral analysis of this …

Clinicians frequently assess asymmetry in strength, flexibility, and performance
characteristics as a method of screening for potential musculoskeletal injury. The …

Simple Summary Only the two-third of athletes who undergo anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction (ACLR) return to their pre-injury level and to sports participation. The timing …

Smajla, D, Sarabon, N, and García-Ramos, A. Effect of a high-intensity handball-specific …

Jumping ability in basketball is usually assessed using standardized vertical jump tests.
However, they lack specificity and do not consider the player's basketball skills. Several …

Background The possibility to selectively assess the force exerted by each leg during
bilateral jumps has allowed sport scientists to explore inter-leg asymmetries, this metric …

Jump-based asymmetry is often used as an indicator of sport performance and may be used
to discern injury susceptibility. Due to task specificity, however, countermovement jump …

This study aimed to investigate the test–retest reliability of three bilateral jump tests to
assess asymmetry and determine the consistency of both the magnitude and direction of …

Background Establishing the reliability of countermovement jump (CMJ) metrics over
multiple weeks can be important in understanding and tracking changes in jump …
