Effects of Increased Shoe Collar Height and Limb Dominance on Landing Knee Biomechanics in Collegiate Volleyball Players
… this study was to determine the effect of MC and limb dominance on knee landing mechanics. It was hypothesized that participants would land with greater initial contact (IC) and peak frontal joint plane angles and moments and smaller IC and peak sagittal plane joint angles and moments at the knee …

The Impact of Lower Limb Dominance on Side-to-Side Symmetry in Daily Living and Sports-related Tasks
… success of rehabilitation programs. Considering limb dominance in the lower limbs is also important as limb dominance could influence symmetry measures. There is a need to assess symmetry, particularly in healthy populations, in tasks other than walking and running and establish how the dominant …

Lower Limb Fatigue Asymmetry of Preferred and Non-Preferred Legs after a Repeated-Sprint Test in Football Players with Previous Hamstring Injury
… Thomas & Hodson, 2004). While the influence of limb dominance has been extensively examined as a risk factor for injury in upper limb-dominant sports (e.g. badminton, tennis and baseball), little research has focussed on the dominance in the lower limbs. Since almost all footballers show a limb …

Intrinsic and extrinsic factors associated with range of motion (ROM) with an emphasis on a novel genetic factor
… Intrinsic factors include age, gender, limb dominance, weight/BMI, height, prior injury, flexibility training, ethnicity and genotype. It has been reported that ROM is a largely (47-70%) heritable trait in both pathological and apparently healthy populations. Mutations within the COL5A1 …

Humeral torsion and activity-related change in the human upper limb and pectoral girdle. A biomechanical investigation and social implications.
… and activity-related change in the human upper limb. Increased humeral torsion angles have been identified in the professional throwing athlete and may be associated with strenuous activity. The nature of humeral torsion as an osteogenic response to the strain environment is investigated to …

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 …

Landing Asymmetry in Back Tucked Saltos and the Effect of Takeoff Asymmetry
… force and vertical impulse. Male gymnasts’ right limbs were significantly stronger than their left (t=3.066, p=0.011). Male flight phase frontal plane angular momentum angle was significantly different between all conditions where 60R and 60L showed a right and left angle deviation from baseline …

Measurement of performance and kinetics during a change of direction, offensive and defensive agility task : a comparison of male and female athletes
… measurements of dominant and non-dominant limbs. Group (gender; strength level) by leg dominance (2x2) MANOVA’s were conducted to examine differences between groups across all variables, with follow up ANOVA’s conducted to determine where significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) occurred. …
