Influence of Load and Phase of Contraction on Lateral Symmetries in Flywheel Squats

Assessment of lateral symmetries (LS) lower limbs has been widely investigated. However, there are no studies about LS during exposure to high eccentric and concentric loads flywheel (FW) squats. A total 422 young, physically active participants performed squats on an FW device with different equidistant (0.05, 0.125 0.2 kg∙m2). The mean peak force the left right leg were assessed for contaction phase. values calculated each load phase squat. Our results showed that absolute contraction had excellent reliability, while more reliable when was used their calculation. Mean forces increased higher load. In general, we found a decrease in Moreover, similar wide range other functional movements. Nevertheless, symmetrical application squatting should be satisfied regardless Due large sample size, our valuable as reference point athletes evaluated training.
