Examines the impact of strength asymmetry on jump performance in female university athletes, suggesting necessary training adjustments.

This research investigates how lower extremity strength differences affect vertical jump performance in female athletes.
Measured body composition and isokinetic knee strength using a Cybex dynamometer.
Assessed vertical jump performance with a force platform.
Calculated strength asymmetry percentages for both bilateral and ipsilateral strengths across sports.
Found negative correlations between bilateral strength asymmetry and jump performance.
Increased muscle strength differences led to decreased jump heights.
Detected a positive relationship between ipsilateral H/Q strength ratio and jump performance.

Gizem Akarsu Taşman (2026) studied this question.
