( My response is in bold): Please correct me if I'm wrong (and I often am) but
I think I heard you say one time that you have your volleyball players and
throwers throw with their non-dominant hand. Why is this? Perhaps I heard this
somewhere else, Not Sure. Throwing with
non-dominant arm has nothing to do with symmetry, I do that for the cross
transfer effect, essentially improve coordination.
Is there a difference between physical (aesthetic) symmetry and
movement symetry? Instead of movement symmetry a better way of stating it may
be biomotor symmetry? Cyclic movements like
sprinting appear symmetrical but with biomechanical analysis we have learned
that there are subtle differences right to left. Aesthetic symmetry, what the naked
eye can see is good for me.
