Increased Resisted Sprinting Load Decreases Bilateral Asymmetry in Sprinting Kinetics Among Rugby Players.

Mangine, GT, McNabb, JA, Feito, Y, VanDusseldorp, TA, and Hester, GM. Increased resisted sprinting load decreases bilateral asymmetry in sprinting kinetics among rugby players. J Strength Cond Res 35(11): 3076-3083, 2021-To examine the effect of resistance on sprinting kinetics and their bilateral symmetry, 15 male collegiate rugby players completed 3 maximal, 40-m sprints (S1-S3) while tethered to a robotic resistance device.
