The kinematical asymmetry during swimming on swimming ergometer

Bilateral diversity is one of the regularities to the human and the upper extremities perform the main role during lateralization, but high level of asymmetry could be an obstacle in the pursuit of success in sport events demanding symmetrical movement. In the case of the lack of balance you should be disqualified according to the breaststroke rules. So, the purpose of the study was to determine the upper extremities kinematical asymmetry during breaststroke swimming on the swimming ergometer and the differences between genders. Transverse asymmetry was found to dominate for both men and women.
