Inter-limb asymmetry: longitudinal monitoring and associations with speed and change of direction speed in elite academy soccer players
Inter-limb asymmetry has been a popular topic of investigation in recent years, with the majority of studies reporting the prevalence of asymmetry during different test protocols in athlete and non-athlete populations, and between genders. However, such information does little to inform …

Multivariate asymmetry and allometry in human limb bones as a basis for osteometric sorting
The size and shape of a limb bone relative to another bone holds a great amount of information needed to individualize a commingled assemblage. This study maximizes discriminating information found in long bone measurements with multivariate analyses of allometry and asymmetry. Previous research on …

The effect of change of direction angle on kneeand hip biomechanics : implications foranterior cruciate ligament injury
… and knee valgus (external abduction) moment and limb asymmetry have been linked to greater risk of ACLinjury. Change of direction (COD) manoeuvres are important for many field sports, however they are unfortunately associated with non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. There is …

Injuries and adolescent ballet dancers: current evidence, epidemiology, and intervention
… and the most affected body region is the lower limb. Growth and maturation have been reported as non-modifiable whereas poor motor performance in power and strength as modifiable risk factors. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the association of growth, maturation and …

The Impact of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Sex, and Sport-specific, Game-like Factors on Limb Stiffness and Limb Stiffness Asymmetry during Landing
… proposed reason. Asymmetric landings where one limb experiences greater landing force can decrease joint stability and place the overloaded limb at greater risk for ACL injury. Additionally, a stiff landing, characterized by increased ground reaction force (GRF), extended joints at initial …

Asymmetries within elite youth soccer players: an investigation into the impact of soccer-specific loading
… soccer can influence the development of interlimb asymmetries and propose a holistic approach to reduce these asymmetries. The literature review provides a comprehensive review of the physical and technical demands of youth soccer and how they contribute to asymmetrical loading and adaptation …
