While asymmetries in muscle oxygen saturation (SmO\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      ) between dominant and non-dominant legs have been studied in cycling, data in running are limited.

Linear mixed models were used with participant as random, and side and workload as fixed effects. To assess adipose tissue thickness (ATT) effects, a 7mm cut-off defined two subgroups (ATT&lt;7mm, ATT&gt;7mm).
