“…Therefore, the Trained + RES group had significantly higher grip strength than the Sed + RES group, with a significant interaction effect ( F (1,36) = 25.2, P = 0.048, eta = 0.150). A previous study found grip strength to correlate positively with anthropometric factors such as age, weight, and body mass index [ 25 ]. The similar analytic trends found in this study may further validate the results of grip strength adjusted to individual bodyweight, as seen in Figure 3 B.…”

The Synergistic Effects of Resveratrol combined with Resistant Training on Exercise Performance and Physiological Adaption

The comprehensive studies done on resveratrol (RES) support that this polyphenol has multiple bioactivities and is widely accepted for dietary supplementation. Furthermore, regular exercise is known to have benefits on health and is considered as a form of preventive medicine. Although the vast majority of prior studies emphasize the efficacy of aerobic exercise in promoting physiological adaptions, other types of exercise, such as resistance exercise and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), may achieve similar or different physiological outcomes. Few studies have looked into the effectiveness of a combinational, synergistic approach to exercise using a weight-loading ladder climbing animal platform. In this study, ICR mice were allocated randomly to the RES and training groups using a two-way ANOVA (RES × Training) design. Exercise capacities, including grip strength, aerobic performance, and anaerobic performance, were assessed and the physiological adaptions were evaluated using fatigue-associated indexes that were implemented immediately after the exercise intervention. In addition, glycogen levels, muscular characteristics, and safety issues, including body composition, histopathology, and biochemistry, were further elucidated. Synergistic effects were observed on grip strength, anaerobic capacities, and exercise lactate, with significant interaction effects. Moreover, the training or RES may have contributed significantly to elevating aerobic capacity, tissue glycogen, and muscle hypertrophy. Toxic and other deleterious effects were also considered to evaluate the safety of the intervention. Resistance exercise in combination with resveratrol supplementation may be applied in the general population to achieve better physiological benefits, promote overall health, and promote participation in regular physical activities.

“…For standardization, the dynamometer was set at the second handle position for measurement of handgrip strength (13). Before starting the test, hand dominance was determined by asking participants the following question: "Which hand do you write with?…”

“…Handgrip and pinch strengths are determinative for performing prehensile and precision hand functions and daily muscular activities through the use of exquisitely arranged power and precision muscles, which acting through the extensor hood, work in synergistic precision to manipulate the digits (11,12). Considered as the most reliable clinical tests for measuring maximum isometric strength of hand-forearm muscles, the values of handgrip and pinch strengths determine the efficacy of different treatment strategies (3,13). These measures are often used as a functional index for nutritional status, insulin sensitivity, overall function of the upper limb, and cardio metabolic health (14,15).…”

Background The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of hand-forearm anthropometric dimensions on handgrip and pinch strengths among 7–18 years children and adolescents and to investigate the extent to which these variables can be used to predict hand strength.Methods Four types of hand strengths including handgrip, tip to tip, key, and three-jaw chuck pinches were measured in 2637 healthy children and adolescents (1391 boys and 1246 girls) aged 7–18 years using standard adjustable Jamar hydraulic hand dynamometer and pinch gauge. A set of 17 hand-forearm anthropometric dimensions were also measured with an accurate digital caliper and tape measure.Results No significant differences were found between the hand strengths of boys and girls up to the age of 10 years. Gender related differences in handgrip and pinches were observed from the age of 11 years onwards, with boys always being stronger. The dominant hand was stronger than the non-dominant hand (8% for handgrip and by about 10% for all three types of pinches). The strongest correlations were found between the hand length and hand strengths (r > 0.83 for handgrip and three all pinches; p < 0.001, 2-tailed). Based on the partial least squares (PLS) analysis, 8 out of 17 anthropometric indices including hand length, hand circumference, thumb length, index finger length, middle finger length, and forearm length had considerable loadings in the PLS analysis, which together accounted for 46% of the total variance.Conclusions These results may be used by health professionals in clinical settings as well as by designers to create ergonomic hand tools.

“…En los últimos años, la FA ha sido utilizada para estimar datos de salud y más recientemente, de rendimiento físico 10,11,12,13 . Está influenciada por la hora del día en la que es medida, la edad, la condición nutricional y de salud, el género, la actividad física, la motivación y el tamaño de los sujetos; a su vez, se asocia con factores que intervienen en la calidad del músculo como determinantes ambientales y genéticos 14 .…”

RESUMEN La relevancia que tiene la medición de la fuerza de agarre (FA) se ha incrementado en los últimos años como marcador del estado nutricional, por su relación con la morbilidad y mortalidad y por su creciente aplicación clínica y epidemiológica. Estudios de FA en adultos jóvenes sanos, revelan que se asocia positivamente con variables antropométricas y de composición corporal, mismas que se vincularían con la promoción de la salud en esta población. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la correlación entre la FA con variables de antropometría, composición corporal medida por bioimpedancia eléctrica y con la realización de ejercicio, para evaluar su utilidad como indicador del estado nutricional en jóvenes universitarias. Los resultados mostraron que en las estudiantes universitarias la FA se correlacionó positiva y significativamente con variables antropométricas (talla), y de composición corporal (masa muscular).
