Does trunk endurance and hip strength relate to lower extremity asymmetry in adolescent long-distance runners

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of maturation on the relationship between joint asymmetry and side-to-side hip strength differences in adolescent runners. Uninjured adolescent runners (n = 63) were recruited for the study. Participants completed hip strength and three-dimensional testing and were stratified by maturity level. Results demonstrate inconclusive results of the effect of maturation on the relationship between side-to-side joint asymmetry and hip strength differences. This lack of clarity highlights the need for prospective study on running patterns in maturing adolescent runners.
