“…Hand width was defined as the distance between the radial side of the second metacarpal joint to the ulnar side of the fifth metacarpal joint (Boadella et al 2005;Clerke et al 2005). Oblique hand was measured from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the small finger with the hand opened as wide as possible (España-Romero et al 2008;Ruiz-Ruiz et al 2002;Ruiz et al 2006). An inelastic anthropometric steel tape (Lufkin W 606 p.m.; Cooper Industries, Lexington, Surrey, Canada) of 0.5 cm width was used, and measurements were recorded to the nearest mm.…”

“…Several studies have highlighted the importance of having a low %BF for high climbing performance (España-Romero et al 2008;Watts et al 1996Watts et al , 2006Watts 2004), since excess body fat would increase the necessary muscular effort for overall support and upward progress (Watts 2004). Handgrip strength in sport climbers is not higher than in normal population when expressed in absolute terms; however, when body mass is taken into account, it is significantly higher in climbers (Giles et al 2006;Watts 2004;Watts et al 1993).…”

“…However, most previous studies using saliva-based methods have employed relatively small numbers of adult subjects and it therefore remains to be determined whether these methods are suitable for producing DNA of high quality and yield in larger studies, especially those involving young children. The IDEFICS (Identification and prevention of dietary-and lifestyle-induced health effects in children and infants) study is an integrated project funded by the 6th Framework Programme of the European Commission and with a cohort size of 16,224 young children is one of the largest single studies to undertake saliva/DNA collection (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Here we describe the design and methodological approaches used for DNA collection, extraction, biobanking and genotyping in the IDEFICS study based on the analysis of a subgroup of 4,678 samples selected from the full IDEFICS cohort.…”

“…[34][35][36] Bechtol in 1954 37 suggested that, on average, the dominant hand is approximately 5 -10% stronger than the nondominant hand. A general rule, which was referred to as 10% rule 38,39 is confirmed in this study (HGS differences between dominant and non -dominant hands ranged from 4.6% to 11.9%) similar to that reported by other studies.…”
