The determination of functional asymmetries in the lower limbs of young soccer players using the countermovement jump. The lower limbs asymmetry of young soccer players
Introduction: This study investigated the functional asymmetries in the lower limbs of young soccer players using the countermovement jump (CMJ).
Synthesis of the facts: Fifteen young soccer players were assessed on the CMJ using two unilateral dynamometric force platforms equipped with software for the analysis of the movement.
Conclusion: The results indicate that the effects of functional asymmetries are important enough to require young soccer players to undergo a preventative screening before starting a sporting regime.
