Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between anthropometric parameters and grip strength in healthy young adults.Methods The measurement data of 32 healthy young adult subjects(all right-hand dominant)including the age,height,weight,forearm length,forearm circumference,hand length,hand width and palm thickness were collected.The grip strength of right hand of all subjects was measured with dynamometer the G100 spring-grip dumbbells.Results The human measurement data were all significantly related(r=0.479-0.754,P<0.01)with grip strength except age(r=-0.009,P>0.05).In addition,stepwise linear regression models indicated that the hand length and hand width were the main predictor of grip strength(R2=0.723).Conclusion Grip strength is significantly related to anthropometric parameters of healthy young adults.The hand length and hand width are independent predictor of grip strength.
