To determine foot dominance:
1) stand with your feet together, arms at rest by your sides, and look
straight ahead at eye level.
2) Ask a friend to quietly come from behind and shove you in the back
exactly *straight ahead* when you don't expect it.
3) the foot you step forward with to break your fall is your dominant
foot.
Repeat test 3 times because if your friend pushes slightly to one side,
you'll obviously use that leg to break your fall.
The most important part of the test is to not brace yourself in
anticipation or pre-plan how you'll break your fall. Just let him push,
and you react.
This test is often used in Track n' Field for those wanting to learn how
to hurdle or long jump.
