Summary
This study looked at 14 elite female basketball players to see how their dominant and non-dominant hands differ in timing and nerve speed. Researchers found that the dominant hand was more accurate and consistent, likely due to training. However, it was also more prone to big errors, showing a trade-off between speed and precision. The findings suggest that training both hands equally could help improve performance and reduce injury risk.
