Many users have sought the fitness centers with esthetic complaints related to side asymmetries in an attempt to correct them. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the isometric and dynamic strength and thigh circumference in young adultwomen. This is a comparative and correlational study in which 10 young adult women beginners in strength training (23±2 years, 57,6±1,8 kg, 1,6±0,1 m), with lateral asymmetries mild/moderate (5-7%), that were underwent anthropometric measurements (weight,height, circumference of proximal and medial thigh) and isometric (computer-controlled dynamometry) and dynamic (1-RM) strength tests. The data were expressed as mean and standard deviation. To verify differences between thigh circumference (medial and proximal) and strength (isometric and dynamic), between right and left thigh, it applied the paired Student t test. It was used the Pearson correlation for the verification of relations between the strength and thigh circumference. It considered difference significant when p<0.05. It was observed that there was not significant difference between the left and right sides for circumference measures (p>0.05) and for isometric and dynamic strength (p>0.05). There were no significant relationships found between circumference and levels of muscular strength (p>0.05). It concludes that mild to moderate side anthropometric asymmetries do not influence the levels of isometric and dynamics strength of young adult women beginners in strength training.
