I'm right handed but left legged. I did long jump and jumped about 4 feet farther using my left leg. Does that count? I know it's different but I find this kind of stuff interesting.

Yep that's an example of it.

Isn't that how it usually is? Having the eye and leg be opposed to the hand, I mean?

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 1 points 11 months ago

My dominant eye is definitely right side, same as my hand. I don't know statistically though.

[–] sleepmode@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I'm not 100% sure, but nearly every left-handed writer I've met does everything with that side maybe minus their dominant eye. But unlike me they still throw, kick, etc. with their left side. I suppose cross-dominance is more common than people realize since it was trained out of so many generations.

No, handedness is the main thing that's uneven
