It is believed that exposure to whole-body vibration (WBV) may increase seated occupant drowsiness and seated. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the strength of the hand grip among the young adults in Malaysia. Also, to examine the correlation between anthropometry factors such as hand length (HL), hand breadth (HB), wrist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) with average full hand grip strength of young adults. 40 Malaysian young adults with equal females and males and the range age of 23 to 28 years old voluntarily basis participated in this study. Three experiments were conducted in sitting position according to American Standard Hand Therapist (ASHT) with 45º, 90o and 135o of hand flexion using dynamometer. The results show the significant different full hand grip strength between Malaysian young adult females and females, the difference full hand grip strength for different hand flexion angles in sitting position and difference correlations between anthropometry factors and full hand grip strength for both young adult males and females.

Objectives To determine whether age, body mass index (BMI), hand length and forearm circumference were predictive of hand grip strength in healthy Saudi Arabian adult males. Methods This cross-sectional descriptive study recruited healthy adult male volunteers. Their anthropometric characteristics including age, BMI, hand length and forearm circumference were measured using routine techniques. Hand grip strength was assessed using a Jamar® Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer. The data were analysed using Pearson correlation coefficient ( r) as well as by a stepwise multiple linear regression analysis. Results The study included 116 healthy males who satisfied the inclusion criteria. A Pearson correlation coefficient matrix demonstrated that all the four measures, age, BMI, hand length and forearm circumference, were significantly correlated with hand grip strength. Age had an inverse correlation with hand grip strength. The anthropometric measures of hand length, age and forearm circumference accounted for 44.2% (R2 0.442) of the variation of the hand grip strength. Conclusion Hand length, age and forearm circumference significantly impacted on hand grip strength in Saudi Arabian healthy adult males.

Background: Muscle weakness is a risk factor for mortality in haemodialysis (HD) patients; we wished to determine whether measuring the composition of the arm with bioimpedance was associated with arm muscle strength. Methods: We measured pinch strength (PS) and hand grip strength (HGS) in 250 adult HD patients with corresponding post-dialysis multifrequency bioelectrical assessments with segmental body analysis. Results: Mean age 64.0 ± 15.6, 66% male and 45.6% diabetic. The maximum HGS in the dominant or non-fistula arm was 18.9 ± 9.2 kg and PS 4.09 ± 1.96 kg respectively, with a correlation of r = 0.80, p < 0.001. HGS was associated with body cell mass (β 0.37, p < 0.001) and PS with appendicular muscle mass (β 0.06, p < 0.001). Both HGS and PS were independently associated with the ratio of extracellular water (ECW) to total body water (TBW); β -139.5, p = 0.024, β -44.8, p < 0.001 in the arm. The presence of an arterio-venous fistula increased the ECW/TBW ratio in the arm from 0.383 ± 0.009 to 0.390 ± 0.012, p < 0.05. Conclusion: Muscle strength measured by HGS and PS was associated with both markers of whole body and segmental body composition within the arm, particularly ECW/TBW. Bioimpedance measurements and assessment of muscle strength should be measured in the non-fistula arm.

Introduction: An individual’s overall muscle strength is commonly assessed by a power grip measurement, a reliable indicator of functional capacity and physical condition. The development of muscle parallels the changes of body composition during growth. Aim of this study is to examine the correlationship between hand grip strength and anthropometric. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 76 male students of Dhammasavana School, aged between 12 – 16 years old, North Jakarta. Hand grip strength was examined using a digital dynamometer on the dominant side. Statistical analysis was computed using SPSS ver. 15.0 program with Spearman correlations test. Significance was set at p<0.05. Results: Dominant hand grip strength was found to have significant (p<0.05 - 0.001) positive correlation with height (r=0.612), lower arm muscle-and-bone cross-sectional circumference and area (CSA) (r=0.553 and r=0.553 respectively), hand length (r=0.548), forearm length (r=0.540), age (r=0.520), weight (r=0.416), and forearm girth (r=0.376). Conclusion: No significant correlation between grip strength and body mass index was found. Positive correlations between the variables mentioned above conclude that the higher the value of the anthropometric measurements, the greater the strength generated in a power grip.

Background: Myokines are produced and released by muscle cells in response to muscular contractions. Endogenous Cushing syndrome (CS) and acromegaly cause significant changes in muscle tissue leading to atrophy or hypertrophy. However, there is no data whether these endocrine abnormalities influence myokine secretion. Aims: To evaluate serum levels of myostatin, interleukin-6 (IL6) and irisin in patients with CS and acromegaly. Materials and methods: Fasting serum samples were taken and stored in aliquot at ≤-20°C from consecutive subjects with clinically evident and biochemically confirmed active CS, acromegaly and healthy volunteers matched by age, sex and body mass index (BMI). Commercially available kits were used to assay serum myokine levels. Grip strength was measured by a dynamometer. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) was measured by immunochemiluminescence assay (Liaison), twenty-four hours urine free cortisol (24hUFC) ― by immunochemiluminescence assay (Vitros ECi), salivary free cortisol ― by electrochemiluminescence assay (Cobas). One-way ANOVA was utilized to assess the difference between groups. Results: We enrolled 88 subjects: 30 patients suffered from CS (group 1), 28 ― acromegaly (2) and 30 matched healthy controls (3) with no difference among the groups in sex, age and BMI (p=0.492, 0.062 and 0.174 respectively). Mean 24hUFC in subjects with CS and mean IGF1 in subjects with acromegaly were significantly higher as compared to other groups (p0.001). Right-hand grip strength was lower in patients with CS as compared to both patients with acromegaly and healthy subjects (p=0.04). However, among these young adults we did not find statistically significant differences in measured myokines levels: irisin ― p=0.15; IL6 ― p=0.34; myostatin ― p=0.50. There was a significant correlation between myostatin and irisin in the whole group of people and in every separately analyzed subset of patients (p0.001), but no correlation was found between any measured myokines and 24hUFC or IGF1.Conclusions: Hypercortisolism or supraphysiological IGF1 levels do not significantly influence serum levels of myostatin, IL6 and irisin in young adults.

Abstract We aimed to use hand dexterity and grip strength test as objective measures to compare the difference in surgeon fatigue associated with robotic and laparoscopic colorectal surgery. We used the Purdue Pegboard Test to assess hand dexterity and the Camry Electronic Handgrip Dynamometer to assess hand grip strength. Eighteen patients were operated on, including 10 robotic and 8 laparoscopic cases. Statistical analysis revealed no difference in dexterity or muscle fatigue after operating with the robot. In contrast, there was a significant difference in the hand grip strength of both hands after laparoscopic surgery. Our results show that the resultant fatigue after laparoscopy affects both hands of the surgeon. In contrast, there was no difference in dexterity or muscle fatigue after operating with the robot. Given the demands of complex colorectal surgeries, robotics may be a means of optimizing surgeon performance by reducing fatigue.

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is a type of exercise commonly applied as a modern exercise technique. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of WBV applied for 10-week on strength, flexibility and agility in taekwondo athletes. A total of 23 healthy young males participated in the present study. The athletes were separated randomly into two groups as the control group (n=11) and whole body vibration training group (n=12). The WBV training group did training 3 days a week for 10 weeks. The Control Group did not do any trainings. The hand grip strength test, vertical jump test, sit-reach test, agility t-test were applied to the WBV training group and control group before and after the 10-week WBV training. The comparisons between the groups were analyzed by using an independent sample t-test at a significance level of p&lt;0.05. No statistically significant differences were detected between the pre-test hand grip strength, vertical jump test, sit-reach test and agility t-test results of the WBV training group and control group according to the Independent sample t test. In the post-test results, statistically significant differences were detected between the vertical jump test, sit-reach test, agility t-test however, no statistically significant differences were detected between the hand grip strength results. The intra-group comparisons were made according to the paired sample t test at a significance level of p&lt;0.05. Although statistically significant differences were detected in the WBV training group between the pre-test-post-test, vertical jump test, sit-reach test, agility t-test values, no statistically significant differences were detected between the hand grip strength results. No statistically significant differences were detected between the hand grip strength, vertical jump, sit-reach, agility t-test pre-test and post-test results of the control group. Long-term whole body vibration training has positive strength, flexibility and agility values.
