Abstract:Introduction: Strength asymmetry in soccer players may arise from unilateral demands along years of training and may be related to higher injury risk and performance impairment. However, cut-off values used to classify asymmetry can be different among tests or outcomes. Objective: The aim was to compare the distribution of soccer players classified as symmetric or asymmetric based on the arbitrary cut-off value of 15% and the Upper Limit Value method for impulse and peak force. Methods: 184 professional Brazil… Show more
