Vertical Symmetry

Vertical symmetry compares the peak forces in the up and down direction between the left and right sides. Vertical forces are mainly associated with the stabilizing phase as each leg absorbs the shock of impact. 

Perfect symmetry would be 100%, lower measures indicate a degree of imbalance between left and right sides.

Here, Amanda’s left-vs-right force symmetry score is LOW. She can use this information to work on an apparent strength imbalance and improve form.

Here, Jeff’s left-vs-right force symmetry score is HIGH. He can use this information to validate his healthy training routine.
