| Summary: | The
relationship between inter-limb
strength asymmetry and athletic performance is not clearly well-known. Different
results in the literature makes it difficult to form a common consensus on this
issue. The aim of this study was to investigate the
relationship between inter-lower limb strength asymmetry (ILLSA) values and
jump and sprint performances. Forty-eight individuals
(21.5±2.8 years, 1.74±0.1 m, 67.3±9.7 kg) voluntarily participated in this
study. All participants participated in squat (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), 40m sprint run tests
and right and left isokinetic concentric knee flexion and extension strength
(IS) test at low (60°.s-1) and high (300°.s-1) angular
velocities. The symmetry angle formula was used in order to determine the
isokinetic knee strength asymmetry values between inter-lower limb. According to the results it
was revealed that there was no relation (p gt;0.05) between ILSSA at low and
high angular velocities and squat jump (r = -0.106 ̶ 0.200), countermovement
jump (r = -0.11 ̶ 0.087) and 40m sprint (r = 0.012 ̶ 0.810) performance. In
conclusion, there is no negative or positive relationship between inter limb isokinetic knee strength
symmetry angle and jump and sprint performances in physically active
individuals. |
