Dominant hand faster but more Error-Prone in athletes, study finds

NCT ID NCT07253623

Summary

This study aimed to understand how the dominant and non-dominant hands differ in performance and nerve activity in elite female basketball players. Researchers tested 14 athletes on a timing task and measured their muscle and nerve signals. They found the dominant hand was more accurate but also more likely to make big errors and show signs of fatigue after the task, highlighting a trade-off between speed and precision.
