What is it about?
This study aimed to examine whether (a) there is an association of the dominant hand (DH) and leg (DL) with the side of the primary angle of trunk rotation (ATR A) and (b) there are any differences between boys and girls in the degree of the angle of trunk rotation (ATR) and the dominant hand and leg.

Why is it important?
We concluded that girls had higher measurements for the ATR than boys, but cross laterality was found only in boys. The results suggest different progression patterns of ATR between genders during their growth.
Perspectives
These results reveal different progression patterns of ATR between boys and girls during their growth. Future studies should focus on identifying how possible factors act on ATR progression differently in the two genders but particularly in boys since such available results are limited.
