High sports achievements require all components of the athletes` body functional fitness to 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 training process. 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 given 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 achievement of high sports results.
