Abstract

Objectives

To evaluate the reliability of the Enhanced Paper Grip Test (EPGT) for assessing foot strength in volleyball and soccer players.

Design

A cross-sectional observational study with repeated measurements.

Setting

Field-based study.

Participants

A convenience sample of 28 athletes (13 volleyball players and 15 soccer players) participated in the study.

Main outcome measures

The main outcome measures were the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) for intra-visit and inter-visit reliability, typical error, and coefficient of variation for the force (N) recorded in EPGT test.

Results

The EPGT demonstrated good to excellent relative reliability (ICC values ranged from 0.93 to 0.97) and acceptable absolute reliability (typical error = 5–8 % of the mean). Significant inter-limb asymmetries were observed in both volleyball (16.0 ± 10.2%) and soccer players (15.3 ± 9.8%).

Conclusions

The EPGT is a reliable tool for assessing foot strength in volleyball and soccer players. Further research is required to explore the applicability of EPGT in different athletic and clinical contexts, and its potential role in athletic performance and injury prevention.

用于测试排球和足球运动员脚部力量的增强型纸质握力测试的可靠性

目的评估增强纸握力测试（EPGT）在评估排球和足球运动员脚部力量方面的可靠性。主要结果指标主要结果指标为EPGT测试中记录的肢体内和肢体间可靠性的类内相关系数（ICC）、典型误差和力（N）的变异系数。结果EPGT显示出良好至卓越的相对可靠性（ICC值介于0.93至0.97之间）和可接受的绝对可靠性（典型误差=平均值的5%至8%）。结论 EPGT 是评估排球和足球运动员脚部力量的可靠工具。需要进一步研究探讨 EPGT 在不同运动和临床环境中的适用性，以及它在运动表现和损伤预防中的潜在作用。

期刊介绍： Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science. The journal publishes original research, case studies, reviews, masterclasses, papers on clinical approaches, and book reviews, as well as occasional reports from conferences. Papers are double-blind peer-reviewed by our international advisory board and other international experts, and submissions from a broad range of disciplines are actively encouraged.
