Abstract des Autors
Elite athletes (n=134) representing 9 sports - speed skating, kayaking, slalom kayaking, canoeing, rowing, wrestling, judo, tennis and boxing, were studied. Lateral asymmetry was determined from anthropometric measurements of the right and left sides of the body. These included upper extremity length, epiphyseal widths of long bones of upper and lower extremities and their girths. Most pronounced asymmetry was found in tennis players and in canoeists and lowest in kayakers, rowers and judoists. Asymmetry was expressed mainly in forearm and thight girths. Verf.-Referat
