Eleven female basketball players (age = 17.56 _ 0.60 year; body mass = 75.13 _ 12.37 kg; height = 1.83 _ 0.08 m; BMI = 22.42 _ 2.28; sports experience = 6.31 _ 1.73 year; years post-peak height velocity = 4.79 _ 0.68 year) performed a battery of fitness tests in the post-season consisting of the Single Leg Countermovement Jump in vertical (SLCJ-V), horizontal (SLCJ-H), and lateral (SLCJ-L) directions, 135_ and 90_ COD tests, and four skills (acceleration step, deceleration step, sidestep, and crossover step) with an flywheel resistance device. The results showed significant differences between the higher performing and lower performing limbs across all tasks (p < 0.05). The mean asymmetry index values ranged from 1.26% (COD 135_) to 11.75% (SLC-V). Inter-limb asymmetries were greatest during the flywheel resistance skills. Spearman’s correlations (r) for all tests were only significant for inter-limb asymmetries during the sidestep test and reduced performance in SLCJ-L (r = 0.61; p = 0.046) and all COD deficits (r range = 0.72 to 0.81). The findings of the present study showed that inter-limb asymmetries are task-specific in female youth basketball players and suggest that the use of flywheel devices can be included in the battery of tests to detect interlimb asymmetry http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14342/2337 https://doi.org/10.3390/biology11060812 Entrenament (Esports) Esports d'equip Esports d'èlit Basquet Jugadores de basquet Relationship between Performance and Inter-Limb Asymmetries Using Flywheel Resistance Device in Elite Youth Female Basketball Players
