dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND: Basketball and soccer require distinct neuromuscular abilities, yet research on performance asymmetries and force production in female athletes remains limited. Understanding these sport-specific traits is crucial for optimizing training and reducing injury risks. METHODS: This study compared explosive strength, force production, and asymmetry between 18 elite female basketball players and 23 national-level WU19 soccer players. Countermovement jump (CMJ) and isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) tests were performed using VALD dual force plates to assess strength, power, and asymmetry. Group differences were analyzed using independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney U Tests (P<0.05). RESULTS: Basketball players showed greater absolute strength and power in CMJ Concentric Peak Force (P<0.05; g=1.32) and IMTP Peak Vertical Force (P<0.05; g=0.71), as well as a higher Dynamic Strength Index (DSI) (P<0.05; g=0.68). However, when adjusted for body mass (BM), soccer players had greater relative strength, particularly in IMTP Peak Force/BM (P<0.05; g=-0.76), Force at 150 ms/BM (P<0.05; g=-0.63), and Force at 200 ms/BM (P<0.05; r=0.52). Basketball players also showed greater Peak Vertical Force Asymmetry in IMTP (P<0.05; r=0.4), while CMJ force asymmetries did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS: Basketball players showed greater absolute strength and power, whereas soccer players exhibited greater relative strength efficiency. Sport-specific adaptations appear to influence force asymmetry, underscoring the need to monitor bilateral imbalances to optimize performance and reduce injury risk.
