TL;DR: The findings of this systematic review indicate that inter-limb differences in strength may be detrimental to jumping, kicking and cycling performance and further research is warranted to understand the mechanisms that underpin inter- Limb differences and the magnitude of performance changes that can be accounted for by these asymmetries.

TL;DR: The results from this study highlight that the SLCMJ appears to be the most appropriate jump test for identifying between-limb differences with values ∼12% showing negative associations with sprint times and larger asymmetries are associated with reduced jump performance and would appear to be direction-specific.

TL;DR: A framework for selecting the most APPROPRIateasyMMETRY EQUATION based on the SELECTED TEST METHOD is provided, as well as considerations for data analysis and conclusions about accuracy and interpretation.

TL;DR: Information is provided on how to understand and analyse the force-time curve of CMJS in Microsoft Excel, thereby providing practitioners an inexpensive and accessible alternative to readily available software on the market.

TL;DR: With asymmetries rarely being present on the same side across tests, these results show that a more individual approach to reporting asymmetry is required, which should help practitioners when designing targeted training interventions for their reduction.
