5.1.5 IMBALANCE INDEX
The Imbalance Index column (Imb%) in sprint tests (Run Data) is an indicator of running 'asymmetry'
between the right and the left.
At first a linear interpolation of two supports the same type can be assumed.
Consequently, the contact time of an ideal athlete's support would be halfway between the previous
and the following; whereas in a real run there will always be a certain difference, the deviation
between two times indicating asymmetry.
After having calculated the difference between ideal and real time, the relation between the
difference and the ideal time (expressed in %) can be defined as imbalance index.
