Abstract
First responders have physically demanding jobs with an increased risk of injury. Previous research has shown that asymmetry of mobility and stability in the lower extremity is associated with an increased risk of lower extremity injuries, while increased fitness and lower body power are associated with a reduced risk of injury. However, there is limited research examining the relationship between lower limb asymmetry, fitness, and lower body power output in first responders.
