“…The Y-Balance Upper Quarter test was used to assess the stability and mobility of upper extremity to identify asymmetries with a high degree of reliability (ICC ranging between 0.986-0.990) [21]. The test consisted of moving, with one hand from a barefoot push-up position, the three wooden blocks of the Y-Balance Test Kit (Functional Movement System, Inc., Danville, CA, USA) in the medial, inferolateral and superior-lateral directions as far as possible.…”

“…A trial was considered failed when at least one of the fault criteria was observed: failure to maintain a unilateral stance; failure to maintain reach hand contact; using the reach indicator for stance support; failure to return the reach hand to the starting position; or lifting either foot off the floor [21]. The maximum reach distance for each reach direction was normalized by dividing it by the upper-limb length.…”

Canoe modality in flatwater canoeing has a clear asymmetrical nature. This study aimed (1) to determine the magnitude and direction of neuromuscular properties, range of motion (ROM) and lower-limb strength asymmetries in female and male canoeists; (2) to establish sex-individualized asymmetry thresholds for canoeists’ neuromuscular properties, ROM and lower-limb strength; and (3) to determine the relationship of canoeists’ neuromuscular properties, ROM and lower-limb strength asymmetries with a specific canoe–dynamometer performance test. Twenty-one international canoeists were assessed through tensiomyography (TMG), ROM, lower-limb explosive strength, and a specific canoe incremental dynamometric test. The magnitude of asymmetry assessed through TMG and ROM was not modulated either by sex or performance level (international medal vs. non-medal). Females showed greater asymmetry than males on muscle tone of the erector spinae towards non-stroke side (22.75% vs. 9.72%) and the tibialis anterior (30.97% vs. 16.29%), and Fmax in explosive leg press (2.41% vs. 0.63%) towards the stroke side. International medalists showed greater asymmetry in semitendinosus contraction time towards non-stroke side (20.51% vs. 9.43%) and reached Vmax earlier in explosive leg press towards stroke side leg (19.20% vs. 9.40%). A greater asymmetry in Fmax and in Vm, and a smaller asymmetry in Tvmax and in leg press showed a small predictive capacity for canoeists’ performance on a specific canoe incremental dynamometry test. Reporting reference data from world-class canoeists’ asymmetries can be of great importance for coaches to periodically control lateral asymmetry.

“…The test consisted of moving the three wooden blocks of the Y-Balance Test Kit (Functional Movement System, Inc., Danville, CA, USA) in the medial (YBT-UQ med ), inferolateral (YBT-UQ inf ), and superolateral (YBT-UQ sup ) directions as far as possible with the free hand while maintaining a push-up position with shoes off. An attempt was considered a failure when Williamson et al's [25] fault criteria were observed: failure to maintain a unilateral stance, failure to maintain reach-hand contact, use of reach indicator for stance support, failure to return the reach hand to the starting position, or lifting of either foot of the floor. The maximum reach distance for each reach direction was normalized by dividing it by the upper limb length.…”

The inclusion of women canoe in the Olympic Games reflects the growth and development that women have ahead of them in this modality. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore sex and performance level differences in muscle contractile properties through Tensiomyography (TMG), range of motion (ROM), strength, and canoe-specific functional electromechanical dynamometry (FEMD) performance and establish performance differences between international medalists and non-medalists. Twelve male and nine female canoeists from the Spanish and Portuguese national canoe teams were assessed through TMG, ROM, strength, and canoe-specific isometric and incremental FEMD tests. Few sex and performance level differences were found in TMG and ROM; however, significant sex differences were found in the strength and FEMD tests. Male canoeists had a greater Fmax in Leg Press, Pm and Pmax in canoe position cable row, 1RM bench press and bench pull, Fm and Fpeak canoe-specific isometric FEMD test and number of strokes, and Fpeak and Pmax on the incremental FEMD test than females. International medalists showed a lower time until reaching Vmax and Pmax in Leg Press on both sides and a greater number of strokes and Fpeak in the maximal incremental FEMD test than non-medalists. This study reinforces the utility of the use of TMG and FEMD for assessing and monitoring world-class athletes.
