The prevalence of inter-limb asymmetries has been reported in numerous studies across a
wide range of sports and physical qualities; however, few have analysed their effects on …

Maloney, SJ. The relationship between asymmetry and athletic performance: A critical
review. J Strength Cond Res 33 (9): 2579–2593, 2019—Symmetry may be defined as the …

The aims of the present study were to provide an in-depth comparison of inter-limb
asymmetry and determine how consistently asymmetry favours the same limb during …

Short-distance swimmers may exhibit imbalances in their upper-limbs' thrust (differences
between the thrust produced by each upper-limb). At maximal speed, higher imbalances are …

This study aimed at quantifying upper limb kinetic asymmetries in maximal front crawl
swimming and to examine if these asymmetries would affect the contribution of force …

Objectives: This study aimed to (i) assess an anthropometric and thrust inter-limb
asymmetry, and;(ii) determine the contribution of anthropometrics, and dry-land upper-body …

Although performance and biomechanical evaluations are becoming more swimming-
specific, dryland testing permits monitoring of a larger number of performance-related …

This study aimed to 1) examine the associations between two swim-specific measures of
anaerobic performance and dry-land strength-based variables; 2) study the association …

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between anthropometric variables,
body composition and propulsive force in swimmers aged 9-17 years. Anthropometric …

Understanding the difference in each upper limb between age groups can provide deeper
insights into swimmers' propulsion. This study aimed to:(1) compare swimming velocity and …
