Background Hamstring strain injuries are one of the most common injuries in Rugby Union,
representing up to 15% of all injuries sustained. We aimed to systematically review and …

Context In both research and clinical settings there is an assumption of symmetry between
limbs in landing. However, development of a preferred limb side is a natural occurrence. It is …

The aims of this study were: 1) to compare the strongest (D) and weakest (ND) limbs in
determining muscle strength asymmetry (MSA) ratios among various muscle strength …

The present study utilised machine learning techniques to characterise differences between
dominant (DL) and non-dominant (nDL) legs of healthy female netballers during single-leg …

The identification of movement strategies in situations that are as ecologically valid as
possible is essential for the understanding of lower limb interactions. This study considered …

Objectives Muscle oxygenation capacity is a metabolic component that can influence the
bilateral strength asymmetry. This study measured the muscle oxygen saturation (SmO 2) …

Hamstring strain injuries are one of the most common injuries in Rugby Union players,
representing up to 15% of all sustained injuries. The Nordic eccentric hamstring test …

Our aims were to assess single-leg balance in rugby union athletes and compare the
stability indices between legs and between positions. Thirty athletes, forwards and backs (n …

The tactical and technical components of training become a primary emphasis, leaving less
time for targeted development of physical qualities that underpin performance during the …

Introduction Injury prevention programs for athletes are still limited by a lack of
understanding of specific risk factors that can influence injuries within different sports. The …
