Abstract
Background: Grip strength has proven to have a positive effect on sports performance in which a sportimplement is grasped in the hand.Objective: To compare Hand Grip Strength in males of different sports.Materials and Methods: 400 male sportsmen, 100 in each sport (Cricket, Hockey, Tennis and Badminton)aged 18-25 yrs volunteered to participate in this study were engaged. Each participant was asked to performat least three maximal isometric grip strength measurements using a Jamar Handgrip Dynamometer and theaverage of the three grip strength trials readings was recorded.Statistical analysis: R-Programming Language Software was applied for statistical analyses of the data; theresults were statistically analyzed by ANOVA.Results: The findings of the present study showed that the maximum grip strength measured in both handsis higher in Cricket players than in Hockey, Tennis and Badminton players (P<0.05).Conclusion: In the present study hand grip strength might have increased due to regular training. It wouldbe beneficial to the sportsmen in terms of optimizing training programs separately for particular sports.
