Abstract

Hand-grip strength was evaluated in 757 recreational downhill skiers and compared to 1021 community-dwellers. Findings are reported for age and sex categories consistent with community-dwelling norms. Effect size (Cohen's d) was calculated to estimate the clinical relevance of strength differences between populations. Most male and half of the female age categories of downhill skiers demonstrated higher grip strength of the dominant hand (moderate to large effect size) compared to the reference population. Hand-grip strength in skiers declined with age at a similar rate as in the reference population. Relative grip strength (per kg body mass) was significantly and positively correlated with physical activity (hours/week), and with the number of ski days per year, and negatively with body mass. Thus, hand-grip strength may be related to the type, volume and intensity of exercise regularly performed. These results can help to assess whether the individual hand-grip strength is above or below average with regard to the normal population and the skier population as well and will support advice for training and/or rehabilitation.

休闲下坡滑雪运动员的手握力:与标准参考值的比较。
对 757 名休闲下坡滑雪者的手握力进行了评估,并与 1021 名社区居民进行了比较。报告了与社区居民标准一致的年龄和性别分类结果。通过计算效应大小(Cohen's d)来估计不同人群之间力量差异的临床相关性。与参照人群相比,大多数男性和半数女性年龄组的速降滑雪者的主导手握力较强(中等至较大的效应大小)。随着年龄的增长,滑雪者手部握力的下降速度与参照人群相似。相对握力(每公斤体重)与体力活动(每周小时数)和每年滑雪天数呈显著正相关,而与体重呈负相关。因此,手握力可能与经常进行的运动类型、运动量和运动强度有关。这些结果有助于评估个人的手握力是否高于或低于正常人群和滑雪人群的平均水平,并为训练和/或康复提供建议。
