Cronin, J, Lawton, T, Harris, N, Kilding, A, and McMaster, DT. A brief review of handgrip strength and sport performance. J Strength Cond Res 31(11): 3187-3217, 2017-Tests of handgrip strength (HGS) and handgrip force (HGF) are commonly used across a number of sporting populations. Measures of HGS and HGF have also been used by practitioners and researchers to evaluate links with sports performance. This article first evaluates the validity and reliability of various handgrip dynamometers (HGD) and HGF sensors, providing recommendations for procedures to ensure that precise and reliable data are collected as part of an athlete's testing battery. Second, the differences in HGS between elite and subelite athletes and the relationships between HGS, HGF, and sports performance are discussed.

“…För närmare analys bör dessutom samma typ av centralmått jämföras. Även om det finns ett samband mellan handstyrka och prestation (Kinnunen et al, 2001;Pugh et al, 2001) kan föreliggande studies resultat inte anses jämförbart med tidigare studie av Gustafson et al (2018), som beskrev en hög grad av funktionsnedsättning i axlar sex månader efter intensivvård, då Gustafson et al (2018) använde mätinstrument i form av smärtskala, mätning av ledrörlighet samt standardiserat bedömningsformulär för axelfunktion.…”

Strength in hand and legs at intensive care unit (ICU) follow up-reception: a retrospective studyEarly mobilization is well established in intensive care and includes sitting, standing and walking and thereby lower extremity activation. Equivalent strategy for upper extremity activation is lacking, therefore, there might be a higher degree of remaining disability in the hand/arm. This retrospective study aimed to describe the strength in hand and legs, and the relationship therebetween, at an intensive care unit (ICU) follow up-reception. Hand dynamometer and Timed-Stands Test (TST) were measured and correlated to illness severity by Simplified Acute Physiology Score III (SAPS3). Data from 47 participants was compared to matched control values. The hand strength was lower (p=0,028) with low effect (r=-0,2), of clinical relevance as it may affect the ability in activities of daily living (ADL). There were no significant differences for strength in the legs, correlation between strength and illness severity and for comparison of strength divided by illness severity. Larger studies are recommended. Referee*Nordisk Tidsskrift for Helseforskning nr-1-2020, 16. årgang IntroduktionIntensivvård innebär vård i sjukhusmiljö av patienter med sviktande vitala funktioner, såsom andning, cirkulation eller sänkt medvetande. På en intensivvårdsavdelning (IVA) är personaltätheten hög och patienterna har mer övervakning än på en vanlig vårdavdelning. Det är för patienten en krävande miljö att vårdas i (Svenska intensivvårdsregistret, 2018). För att en avdelning skall kallas för IVA krävs bland annat att intensivvården skall kunna pågå dygnet runt, ha en hög medicinsk och teknisk kompetens och att vårdteamet skall arbeta multidisciplinärt (Svensk förening för anestesi och intensivvård, 2015). Historiskt sett har patienter inom intensivvård varit nedsövda då det ansågs att riskerna med att hålla patienterna vakna var för stora (Gosselink, Bott, Johnson, Dean, Nava, Norrenberg, Schönhofer, Stiller, van de Leur, & Vincent, 2008). Patienter som vårdas inom intensivvård riskerar att drabbas av effekter av immobilisering, bland annat så kallad critical illness polyneuropati (CIP) och critical illness myopati (CIM), vilket kan leda till försvagad muskulatur med påföljd ökad morbiditet och mortalitet (Koukourikos, Tsaloglidou, & Kourkouta, 2014). Påverkan på muskulaturen visar sig genom nedsatt styrka i andningsmuskulatur och extremiteter (Latronico & Bolton, 2011). Appleton, Kinsella och Quasim (2015) fann vid en systematisk litteraturgenomgång att incidensen för CIP/CIM var 40% bland patienter som vårdas/vårdats inom intensivvård. Rådande regim numer är dock att patienterna under större delen av vårdtiden bör hållas så vakna med så lite sedering, det vill säga lugnande medicinering, som möjligt bland annat för att underlätta så kallad tidig mobilisering då detta visat sig ha stora vinster för patienten (Devlin, & Alhazzani, 2018). För att motverka riskerna med immobilisering bör patienten få stöd med tidig mobilisering, en aktivering s...

Introduction: Anthropometric characteristics is one of the methods that they have been used in sport talent detection. However, few studies have analyzed the morphological profi le of elite baseball player. Objective: To analyze the anthropometric profi le of elite Spanish baseball players, classifi ed by playing positions and globally. Material and methods: Two hundred and seventeen male baseball players (age: 23.87 ± 5.32 years) from Spanish Honor Division participated in this study. Athletes were classifi ed based on their playing position. Anthropometric variables were measured and somatotype, body composition, body mass index (BMI) and six skinfolds sum were calculated. Results: Players did not show signifi cant differences based on their playing position in stretch stature; body mass; triceps, subscapular, biceps, supraspinale, abdominal and medial calf skinfolds; six skinfold sum; and wrist (bi-styloid) bone breadth. There were signifi cant differences in front thigh skinfold, arm fl exed and tensed and calf girths, humerus (biepicondylar) and femur (biepicondylar) bone breadths; BMI, body composition and somatotype. Endomorphy showed a high value, mesomorphy a high or medium-high values and ectomorphy a low value. Generally, athletes showed a mesomorphic endomorph and mesomorph-endomorph somatotype, depends on the playing position. Conclusion: Baseball players of all the playing positions showed a high homogeneity in the anthropometric profi le. There were only few differences in some anthropometric variables such as girths and bone breaths.
