AB Interlimb asymmetries have been widely studied with controversial results, suggestingthat the magnitude of asymmetries is highly task-dependent and could be related to injury risk. Thisstudy aimed to establish an optimal method for assessing asymmetries and evaluate interlimb powerperformance and range of motion asymmetries in injured and non-injured male semiprofessionalsoccer players. A prospective and descriptive design was applied, and 20 male semiprofessionalsoccer players participated. The players underwent a battery of screening tests (i.e., countermovementjump [CMJ], half-squat, hip abduction and hip adduction isometric force, knee flexion and extensionisokinetic torque, and lower limb range of movement). The healthy players had a greater range ofmotion in the hip extension and ankle flexion of the dominant leg and hip abduction and knee flexionof the non-dominant leg. However, the injured players exhibited greater asymmetry in hip abductionmaximum isometric strength. These findings suggest the importance of establishing a comprehensivemethod to assess the range of motion interlimb asymmetries related to injury risk in semiprofessionalsoccer players.
