Symmetry and Asymmetry in Sport Sciences, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The terms symmetry and asymmetry have been commonly related to natural sciences phenomena. However, they are also present in many sports and physical activity contexts. Although many coaches and trainers try to find the symmetry in the movements and performance capacities in the athlete’s body, real-life activities, exercises and performance in sport demonstrate the ubiquity of asymmetry. Knowing the appropriate magnitude of this asymmetry could be interesting in order to prepare athletes and prevent injuries, to understand the movement differences in a biomechanical analysis, to study the learning process, or to examine technical and tactical properties in performance analysis. In this sense, we can find a wide umbrella to study the symmetry and asymmetry in sport sciences.
