“…Numerous studies also showed that HGS is influenced by several factors such as age; gender; posture; hand size; and grip span [14][15][16][17]. Occasionally, grip span is the most important factor that influences the strength exerting and offers the knowledge for a valid predictor of work capacity [18].…”

Background: Hand grip strength (HGS) and grip control strength (GCS) are two predictors of upper-extremity function to undertake activities of daily living. Numerous studies have indicated that hand size and handle diameter independently affect HGS. However, none has explored the effects of matching hand size to optimal grip span on ergonomic outcomes. The aim of this article was to investigate the relationships among grip strength, hand size, and grip span.

“…The subjects performed a training session with the grip test to familiarize themselves with the instrumentation and the maximal isometric HGS measurement protocol, for which we used a Jamar grip strength dynamometer (Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer, 5030J1). As recommended by Watanabe et al, (2005) the subjects made various attempts with both hands, noting the most comfortable distance to the handle when gripping the dynamometer and this distance was maintained during all subsequent tests. Each subject was instructed to obtain a maximal isometric contraction of HGS, alternately both hands was measured with the hand dynamometer.…”

he specificity of the technical performance in judo and karate demands from athletes to perform fast and powerful actions at a high level, therefore, much importance is given to the development and supporting motor system, in particular, HGS function. Research aim was to determine the characteristic of maximal isometric HGS in Greek elite male judo and karate kumite athletes that may be important for competitive success in the aspect of age and BMI and identify any differences between these two compact sports. The studies were carried out in the competitive period of 2015 training cycles. The subjects were male judokas with mean weight 84.24 ± 12.38 kg and karateka's 76.63 ± 10.46 kg. Average BMI (kg/ m 2 ) for judokas 25.67± 3.60 and karateka's 23.03 ± 1.75. Research results showed that the HGS in dominant and nondominant hand in karateka's was 68.28 ± 7.3 kg and 63.28 ± 7.5 kg and in judokas 73.72 ± 7.85 kg and 71.34 ± 8.10 kg. karateka's had significant less stronger HGS compered to Judokas in dominant and nondominant hand, t 32 = -2.089 and p<0.05 and t 32 = -3.016 and p<0.05. Karateka's had significant higher differences between the two hands 4.94 ± 2.15 kg compered to judokas 2.38 ± 1.84 kg, t 32 = 3.722 and p<0.05. The two groups had significant difference in BMI, t 32 = -2,771 and p<0.05. Pearson correlation showed a significant correlation between HGS and BMI, r=0.563 and p<0.05. In conclusion judo and karate have different requirements and training methods due to the objectives and generally the technical training nature with judokas appearing stronger in the HGS compere to karateka's.

“…A medida da força de preensão é uma das mais utilizadas na avaliação de casos clínicos de patologias nos membros superiores, possibilitando informações práticas sobre desordens musculares, nervosas ou articulares (CAPORRINO et al, 1998;WATANABE et al, 2007). Esta medida é boa preditora de mortalidade por doenças cardiovasculares, respiratórias e por todas as causas (MATOS et al, 2014;LING et al, 2010;RANTANEN et al, 2003), sendo também utilizada para a avaliação desportiva e concursos admissionais de diversas atividades laborais (GAJEWSKI et al, 2009;KOLEY;KAUR, 2011).…”

Além disso, os protocolos variam em relação ao tempo de descanso entre as medidas, …”

RESUMOEstudos tem mostrado resultados conflitantes em relação as medidas de força de preensão manual por diferentes protocolos. O estudo verificou o grau de concordância entre três protocolos de mensuração da força de preensão manual em relação ao posicionamento corporal e do braço. A amostra foi composta por estudantes de Educação Física de ambos os sexos. Um dinamômetro digital foi utilizado para mensurar a força de preensão. Foram selecionados três protocolos: dois com o indivíduo na posição ortostática, com o braço estendido e com o cotovelo flexionado a 90º, e um com o indivíduo sentado com flexão do cotovelo a 90º. A distribuição dos pontos na análise de concordância mostrou boa concordância entre os protocolos testados. Concluiu-se que os resultados dos protocolos de preensão palmar avaliados apresentam bom grau de concordância devendo a escolha de utilização se dar em função da especificidade do movimento que se pretende avaliar.Palavras-chave: Dinamômetro de força muscular.
