Morphological inter-limb asymmetry in youth judokas is independent of competitive level and sex
While inter-limb differences were present, the magnitude of asymmetry was generally small (≤ 8%) and did not differ significantly between competitive levels or sexes. These findings suggest that reducing morphological asymmetry in judokas may not be a priority, regardless of competition level or sex.
