OSTEOGENIC INTER-ARM ASYMMETRIES IN TENNIS PLAYERS AGED 8-30 YEARS

This data were produced from previous published data on osteogenic lateralization in the upper limbs of tennis players aged about 8 to 30 years. Using advanced analysis methods like simulated data, bootstrapping, Kernel fitting, and Shapley’s relative importance in meta-regressions we estimated % bone asymmetry according to sex, pubertal status, bone trait (BMC vs BA), arm segment (upper vs lower). We thus generated a comprehensive evidence regarding degree of osteogenic lateralization due to tennis, the hierarchy of the factors implicated in this process, and the age-progressing change of bone asymmetries according to sex and maturity status. The results are useful in the general context of upper limb growth literalities and bilateral adaptations-differences based on the highly lateralized sport of Tennis.本数据集基于已发表的关于8至30岁网球运动员上肢成骨性偏侧化（osteogenic lateralization）的研究数据构建。本研究采用模拟数据、自助法（bootstrapping）、核拟合（Kernel fitting）以及元回归中的夏普利相对重要性（Shapley’s relative importance）等先进分析手段，依据性别、青春期状态、骨骼特征（骨矿含量BMC vs 骨面积BA）以及上肢节段（上臂 vs 前臂）估算了骨骼不对称百分比。据此，本研究生成了涵盖网球诱导的成骨性偏侧化程度、该过程中相关影响因素的层级结构，以及依据性别与成熟状态划分的骨骼不对称随年龄进展的变化规律等内容的全面证据。本研究结果可为针对以网球为代表的高度偏侧化运动相关的上肢生长规律与双侧适应性差异的研究提供重要参考依据。
