The aim of this study was to investigate and determine the impact asymmetries in muscle strength power between right left lower limbs on straight-line running speed female soccer players.30 right-footed players playing Ekstraliga participated study. Modulus. Number formula used avoid negative results assess only difference relative limbs, not dominance one them. A result equal or below threshold defined group G1 "with asymmetry," a above G2 greater asymmetry." It should be emphasized that level asymmetry no way allows determining achieved by players. Therefore, some were classified into depending test. Analysis indicated significant differences groups (criterion: MVSLJ). same analysis higher speeds LSLJ), meaning with limb faster compared those asymmetry. one-way ANOVA for PPLP) statistically over 20m 30m segments. Players (G1) segments 30m. SLS) 10m distance. In conclusion, highlights findings underscore necessity balanced development enhance performance reduce injury risk. By addressing these through targeted training interventions, coaches trainers can help athletes achieve their full potential field.
