Handgrip and quadriceps muscle endurance testing in young adults

Abstract: BackgroundGrip strength is widely used for estimating whole body strength but there is a lack of information relating to grip endurance. Comparison between endurance of different muscle groups has received little attention. The main aim of the present study was to determine the endurance characteristics of hand grip and quadriceps muscles in healthy young adults and then to examine the association between fatigability of the two muscle groups.MethodsTwenty one healthy participants (8 males and 13 females) aged… Show more

“…The decrement in HGS performance has been reported in other studies that have focused on identifying HGS endurance during dynamic evaluations [34,48,57]. Other authors consider that, at least for repeated series of 10 consecutive HGS tests, the performance in the test is quite stable over trials, although there is the expected fatigue effect, especially for men [47].…”

“…Although there are a few studies that analyze the HGS variation during serial tests, these included relatively small series of tests, on the order of 10-15 repetitions. In most cited cases, such testing protocols have proven to be reliable [34,47,48]. The innovation of our study lies in designing an investigation of the HGS variability during repetitive tests for young and older subjects by using mathematical modeling of the recorded data.…”

“…Moreover, it was specifically attributable to chewing and not to the motor activation in itself, since handgrip exercise induced slight but significant decreases in performance and mydriasis. Such decreases were significant only among females, likely owing to less developed musculature which may have been fatigued by the handgrip exercise, thus reducing their performance ( White et al, 2013 ). To weigh the possible translational impact, the chewing effects have been replicated by administering a commercially available gum.…”

“…Despite the evidence for using HGS as a clinical measure, it is important to consider some of its limitations. HGS is not strictly objective, as it is heavily dependent on mood, motivation, and encouragement from the clinician administering the test (White et al 2013). As with gait speed, some patients will not be able to complete HGS (e.g., musculoskeletal diseases, neurological disorders, stroke).…”
