relationship between inter-limb
strength asymmetry and athletic performance is not clearly well-known. Different
results in the literature makes it difficult to form a common consensus on this
issue. </span> <b> <span style="font-size:10px;"> </span> </b> </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> <span style="font-size:10px;">The aim of this study was to investigate the
relationship between inter-lower limb strength asymmetry (ILLSA) values and
jump and sprint performances. </span> <span style="font-size:10px;">Forty-eight individuals
(21.5±2.8 years, 1.74±0.1 m, 67.3±9.7 kg) voluntarily participated in this
study.

and right and left isokinetic concentric knee flexion and extension strength
(IS) test at low (60°.s </span> <sup> <span style="font-size:10px;">-1 </span> </sup> <span style="font-size:10px;">) and high (300°.s </span> <sup> <span style="font-size:10px;">-1 </span> </sup> <span style="font-size:10px;">) angular
velocities. The symmetry angle formula was used in order to determine the
isokinetic knee strength asymmetry values between inter-lower limb. </span> </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10px;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;color:rgb(33,33,33);" xml:lang="en-us">According to the results it
was revealed that there was no relation (p>0.05) between ILSSA at low and
high angular velocities and squat jump (r = -0.106 ̶ 0.200), countermovement
jump (r = -0.11 ̶ 0.087) and 40m sprint (r = 0.012 ̶ 0.810) performance. In
conclusion, there is no negative or positive relationship between inter limb isokinetic knee strength
symmetry angle and jump and sprint performances in physically active
individuals. </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Selçuk Üniversitesi}
