This article deals with the comparison of jumps of the left and right lower limbs, the muscles of both lower limbs and subsequently their correlation, both in terms of jump and in terms of the amount of muscle mass. Subsequently, the laterality of the lower limbs is also assessed. The average age of probands is 8.58 years ± 1.88 years, the average height is 132.3 cm ± 11.4 cm with an average weight of 28.17 kg ± 11.93 kg. They are tested on a one-time test on the Tanita tread weight, which analyzes their percentage of fat, body water and diagnoses their segmental distribution of muscle mass. Furthermore, the probands are tested in the form of jumping measurements on the LEM 10 with ProJump jumping platform, where two jumps from the right and left lower limbs are performed for each of them, followed by one leg jump. A significant relationship between the amount of muscle mass and the jump of the probands was not demonstrated on either of the limbs measured. A total of 56% of gymnasts were found to be related between the preferred lower limb and its better reflective performance.

Keywords: body composition; laterality; measurement; talent; muscle mass
