Control of movement is central to successful sports performance. Laterality is a critical part of this movement control as players typically have a preference for relying on a dominant side. Tennis players may hold the racket primarily in their dominant hand, and soccer or football players may kick with their dominant foot. Laterality also comes into play in the direction to turn as in performing a spin in figure skating or which eye to use when aiming at a target. Laterality in sports summarizes research findings in this area from psychology, evolutionary biology, and neuroscience. Coverage includes the origins and persistence of laterality in humans; measurement of laterality and its relevance in sports; the cognitive neuroscience of laterality; laterality's impact on talent identification, skill acquisition, and athlete development; performance differences between left- and right-sided athletes; laterality in individual and team sports; biomechanical aspects of laterality; and sports medicine perspectives on laterality. Chapters review current research and discuss the implications of these findings for sport practice
