Zusammenfassung

The aim of this study was to investigate asymmetry differences in landing techniques adopted by male and female athletes. Eight (4 male; 4 female) participants (age: 20.5 ±0.7 years, mass: 73.09 ±12.05 kg, height: 1.77 ±0.75 m performed drop landings from two heights (0.60 m & 0.90 m). Kinematic and kinetic data were collected during landing and used to calculated asymmetry for joint angles and kinetic variables. Significant (p
