This research paper investigates the relationship between lower body symmetry and running performance in elite Jamaican track and field athletes. The study found that elite athletes have more symmetrical knees and ankles compared to controls from the Jamaican countryside. Symmetry was positively associated with better sprinting performance, particularly in the 100m dash. The paper discusses the implications of symmetry in athletic performance and explores potential genetic factors contributing to symmetry in Jamaican athletes.
