High sports achievement require that all components of the athletes’ body functional fitness should be taken into account. Functional asymmetry of the brain is one of the most important determinants of human capabilities in motor task solution. There is a considerable body of evidence to suggest the role of various asymmetries in sports activities, their peculiar dynamics in the process of training. However, a number of key issues of motor and sensory asymmetries remain unclear so far, and their resolution requires further research and discussion.
One such issue is to provide a precise definition of the leading motor skills and sensory mechanisms. The existing methods have yield mixed results. In different sports, different profiles of sensorimotor asymmetry are being discovered, but it is still not clear to what extent various peculiarities are the result of a purposeful process and to what extent they are a consequence of selection of appropriate indicators. Some characteristics of the functional asymmetry can be quite stable, being driven by a specific genotype, they are unaffected by the training process and can become an obstacle to the achievement of high sports results..

Keywords: functional asymmetry, determination of dominant asymmetry profile, sensorimotor asymmetries in sport, changes and selection.
