Morphological, Neuromuscular And Strength Asymmetries: Magnitude, Differences And Relationships In Elite Soccer Players

Abstrakt

Due to high prevalence of repetitive unilateral movements in soccer, side preference may cause abnormal changes in myodynamic characteristics of the muscle; particularly in the dominant leg/side. This phenomenon can be represented as strength and functional asymmetry (FA).

However, studies that focused on FA including morphological, neuromuscular, strength and power parameters are limited in elite soccer.
