L2b, Asymmetry Flashcards
1
Q
What is bilateral deficit?
A
When the summed unilateral force is greater than the bilateral force
2
Q
What is the sticking point?
A
The position where the strength of the muscles can’t overcome the resistance
3
Q
When do we have to be concerned with asymmetry?
A
When returning from injury, asymmetry in strength/power greater than 15% has been associated with increased risk of secondary injury.
4
Q
True or false, bilateral strength training has a greater effect on performance and strength/power measures?
A
True
5
Q
What effects occur as a result of unilateral strength training?
A
Reduced muscle asymmetry and increased CSA, however, no significant improvement in performance outcomes.
