Introduction: Functional asymmetry refers to the relative difference in functional capacity that occurs during performance of activities between the homologous members on the right and left sides of the body. Objective: The objective of the present study was to describe the values of functional asymmetry in the ability to jump in female athletes of university volleyball. Methods: Nine university athletes with 4.5 hours of training per week participated in the study. Body composition measurements (DEXA) and performance of vertical jump and countermovement jump bipodal (CMJ) bipodal and unipodal were evaluated. Results: The results revealed that 33.3% of the sample had functional asymmetry and the CMJ showed a superior performance when compared to other types of jumps. Conclusion: We conclude that measurements obtained through vertical jumps have a great practical applicability for predicting the level of asymmetry between the limbs and the efficiency of the stretching and shortening cycle.
