Relation of maximum grip strength to grip strength endurance

Instruments to Measure Strength

“…Another study reports the use of an apparatus for eliciting a stretch reflex and recording electrically the isometric responses of the muscle, by means of strain gauges, together with the summated action potentials in the muscle or nerve supplying it (7). Tuttle reported using strain gauges in a study of maximum grip strength and grip strength endurance (30). The same principle of strength testing was employed in a later study on back and leg strength by Tuttle and co-workers (31).…”

A submaximal test to assess back muscle capacity: Evaluation of construct validity

“…The relationship between absolute endurance and strength mainly depends on whether the circulatory occlusion threshold is exceeded or not during muscle contraction. This strength-endurance relationship is moderate to high (r 2 between 0.45 and 0.77) when the complete occlusion threshold is exceeded (Caldwell, 1961;McGlynn and Murphy, 1971;Start and Graham, 1964;Tuttle et al, 1950). However, the relationship is much weaker, and even nonexistent, when this critical occlusion threshold is not reached (Start and Graham, 1964;Zatsiorsky, 1995).…”

“…M a n y studies have investigated various aspects of muscular strength (Atha, 1981;Capen, 1950;Chui, 1950;Clarke, 1973;Clarke & Monroe, 1970;Clarkson et al, 1982;Costill, Miller, Myers, Kehoe, & Hoffman, 1968;Gilliam, Sady, Freedson, & Villanacci, 1979;Haymes & Dickinson, 1980;Jackson, 1971;Lauback, 1969;Liba, 1967;Mayhew & Gross, 1974;Tuttle, Janney, & Thompson, 1950;Vodak, Savin, Haskell, & Wood, 1980). These studies have consistently found muscular strength to be related to the performance of motor activities.…”

“…In the past, muscular strength has primarily been measured using isometric, isotonic, or tensiometric techniques (Capen, 1950;Chui, 1950;Clarke & Monroe, 1970;Costill et al 1968;Mayhew & Gross, 1974;Tuttle et al 1950;Vodak et al 1980). The advent of the Cybex I1 isokinetic dynamometer has supplied an objective method of measuring peak torque throughout a full range of motion at a predetermined speed of contraction (Hislop & Perrine, 1967;Gilliam et al 1979).…”
