Abstract

The aim of this review was to examine the available literature on inter-limb strength and power asymmetries and their effect on sports performance. In total, 31 studies were included. The findings indicate a negative effect of strength asymmetries on change of direction, sprinting, cycling and kicking performance. They may also be detrimental to jumping performance, however, more research is needed to confirm this. The findings on power asymmetries are more inconsistent and indicate that asymmetries measured with various power tests may affect some performance measures. For example, jumping performance is affected by the power asymmetries measured with jumps, but not by those measured with change of direction tests. Furthermore, the correlation between asymmetry tests and performance outcomes can be affected by the type of sport, training period and the magnitude of the asymmetry. To better understand the effects of strength and power asymmetries on athletic performance, further research is needed, particularly on the effects on sport-specific performance tests.
肌肉力量和力量的肢间不对称对运动成绩的影响:综述
本综述的目的是研究现有的关于肢间力量和力量不对称及其对运动表现的影响的文献。总共纳入了31项研究。研究结果表明,力量不对称对改变方向、短跑、骑自行车和踢腿的表现有负面影响。它们也可能对跳跃表现有害,然而,需要更多的研究来证实这一点。关于功率不对称的研究结果更不一致,表明各种功率测试测量的不对称可能会影响某些性能测量。例如,跳跃性能受到跳跃测量的力量不对称的影响,但不受方向变化测试的影响。此外,不对称测试与表现结果之间的相关性可能受到运动类型、训练时间和不对称程度的影响。为了更好地理解力量和力量不对称对运动表现的影响,需要进一步的研究,特别是对运动特定表现测试的影响。
