TABATA EXERCISE IMPROVED NON-DOMINANT LOWER EXTREMITY STRENGTH IN NORDIC SKIERS
A study testing Exercise Tabata Protocol in people with Laterality and Exercise, run by Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
Background: Laterality in athletes presents the preference to overuse extremities, which weakens the non-used parts, resulting in an uneven power distribution and body imbalance. There is a lack of knowledge and studies to elucidate those drawbacks. Read more about this study

About this study
Background: Laterality in athletes presents the preference to overuse extremities, which weakens the non-used parts, resulting in an uneven power distribution and body imbalance. There is a lack of knowledge and studies to elucidate those drawbacks. Qualitative and high-intensity exercise for the non-dominant extremity has the potential to avoid laterality and enhance the whole-body performance for the race.
