In this video, we'll delve into the complexity of athlete strength asymmetries, explaining what an asymmetry is and how to calculate them. Discover the nuances of intra-limb and inter-limb differences, explore the 'calculation conundrum', and unlock practical insights into sports science testing. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or sports scientist, join this journey to unravel the secrets behind athlete performance assessments.

This video is part of our athlete testing series with VALD Performance in which I discuss common athlete strength tests, best practice protocols, metrics and analysis, key sports science research, and test strengths and limitations.
