From Screening to Reality What Asymmetry Really Tells Us with Dr Chris Bishop and Dr Martin Buchheit

Are asymmetries something we should actually be fixing… or just better understanding? Dr Chris Bishop is an Associate Professor of Strength and Conditioning and one of the leading researchers in interlimb asymmetry, bringing years of work across performance, rehab, and applied sport science.In this conversation, Chris breaks down one of the most misunderstood topics in sports performance. From how asymmetries are calculated to whether they even matter, this episode challenges common practices in screening, rehab, and training decisions. He explores why asymmetry data is often noisy, how context changes everything, and why chasing symmetry alone may not lead to better performance or reduced injury risk.Today’s speakers:Dr Martin Buchheit: https://martin-buchheit.net/    Dr Chris Bishop: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-bishop-a2462b35/
