“…The other test is a swimming test by loading a mass equivalent to a percentage of body weight on the tail for exhaustive swimming based on animal survival instinct [ 7 ]. The grip strength assessment reflects the overall health of the musculoskeletal system and can also be used to evaluate motor-associated coordination and adaption in neurological study [ 30 ]. We found that grip strength could be dose-dependently increased with CCM supplementation ( Figure 2 ).…”

Curcumin (CCM) is a well-known phytocompound and food component found in the spice turmeric and has multifunctional bioactivities. However, few studies have examined its effects on exercise performance and physical fatigue. We aimed to evaluate the potential beneficial effects of CCM supplementation on fatigue and ergogenic function following physical challenge in mice. Male ICR mice were divided into four groups to receive vehicle or CCM (180 μg/mL) by oral gavage at 0, 12.3, 24.6, or 61.5 mL/kg/day for four weeks. Exercise performance and anti-fatigue function were evaluated after physical challenge by forelimb grip strength, exhaustive swimming time, and levels of physical fatigue-associated biomarkers serum lactate, ammonia, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and glucose and tissue damage markers such as aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and creatine kinase (CK). CCM supplementation dose-dependently increased grip strength and endurance performance and significantly decreased lactate, ammonia, BUN, AST, ALT, and CK levels after physical challenge. Muscular glycogen content, an important energy source for exercise, was significantly increased. CCM supplementation had few subchronic toxic effects. CCM supplementation may have a wide spectrum of bioactivities for promoting health, improving exercise performance and preventing fatigue.

“…Reduced hand-grip strength has been associated with smoking in different age groups. 11 To determine whether smoking affects hand-grip strength in the COPD participants, we measured hand-grip strength in the active, exand current smokers with COPD and adjusted it for covariants. Among men, current smokers had lower handgrip strength than the non-smokers of same age groups, as shown among the 55-65 years (…”

“…5 Several previous studies have elaborated a positive association between hand-grip strength and lung functions, assessed as the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 %) of the predicted value in the patients with COPD 6,7 but the results have not always been consistent. 8 This is partly because the hand-grip strength, among other factors is affected by BMI, 9 serum metabolic profile including HDL-C, 10 smoking status 11 and various co-morbidities 5 which are often overlooked when correlating hand-grip strength to disease severity in patients with COPD.…”

Purpose: COPD is a multisystem disease and there is a need for clinical serum markers that can assess the decline in lung and muscle function in COPD. The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential association of serum club-cell protein 16 (CC16), α-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) and total sialic acid (TSA) with spirometry, hand-grip strength and quality of life to assess important disease outcomes. Methods: This is a population-based cross-sectional study and data were collected from the patients at teaching hospitals of Gomal University and the University of Health Sciences in Pakistan. The study population included 1582 participants (Non-COPD; N = 788, COPD; N = 845) >55 years of age from both sexes, with data from structural interviews, clinical examinations, laboratory investigations, spirometry and hand-grip strength measurements. Results: Serum TSA and CC16 were significant predictors of FEV 1 % (p < 0.05) and handgrip strength in advanced stages of COPD (p < 0.05 each) in both sexes. Men had higher absolute and adjusted hand-grip strength than women in all groups (p < 0.05). Hand-grip strength was significantly associated with FEV 1 % in both genders (p < 0.05) with stronger effect in women (r 2 = 0.075). Serum HDL-C was an independent predictor of hand-grip strength and FEV 1 % (p < 0.05) in both genders. Participants with extreme problem on EQ-5D parameters had more severe COPD and reduced hand-grip strength (all p values < 0.05). Conclusion: Taken together, these studies show that the serum expressions of TSA and CC16 have correlations with spirometry and muscle decline in COPD. Further studies should be conducted to establish their efficacy in monitoring disease progression in COPD.

Hand is made up of bones, tendons, ligaments, nerves and blood vessels that can be easily debilitated and injured if the hand tool is not design ergonomically. Recently researchers have examined the effects of individual, environmental and occupational factors on hand grip strength. However, information on the influence of hand tool design on hand grip strength is still lacking. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of factors influencing hand grip strength focusing more towards hand tool design factors. The authors searched the journal articles, book and guidelines from the online databases of Google Scholar, ScienceDirect and Pubmed. Fourteen factors includes handle diameter, handle length, handle orientation, handle shape, handle material, handle flange, handle inter distance/grip span, grip method, tool weight, tool center of gravity, tool sharpness, trigger type and size, spring stiffness as well as vibration exposure were found to have significant effect on the hand grip strength. This review identified that the handle diameter is the most significant factor for hand grip strength.
