“…19,20 There was no difference in the mean HGS values among hypertensive subjects of the present study and those described by Benedetti et al 21 in a study of active elderly persons in Santa Catarina. While a study by Fernandes et al 22 reported higher values than those found in the present study, it was conducted exclusively with males with a lower mean age (58.7 years compared to 71.5 years). It is well established in literature, when comparing men and women, that males, regardless of age, have a higher degree of muscle strength.…”

“…19,23 Force has a curvilinear relationship with age, peaking in the third decade of life and progressively decreasing after the fifth decade, a process explained by the reduction in the number and size of muscle fibers, especially type II muscle fibers, which are fast-twitch fibers and produce a large amount of force. 22,24 Another factor that seems to intervene in the measurement of handgrip measurement is related to lateral dominance. Studies show that, in terms of peak maximum force, the dominant hand performs better, but fatigues faster, irrespective of gender.…”

Introduction: Handgrip is an excellent indicator of functionality, nutritional status and mortality among the elderly. Objective: To compare the handgrip strength of hypertensive elderly individuals classified by different levels and types of physical activity. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 80 individuals divided into three physical activity groups, according to the leisure-time and transportation sections of the long version of the IPAQ: active (≥150 min/week), insufficiently active (<150 min/ week) and sedentary (10 min/week). The active individuals were also separated by type of physical activity: gymnastics, hydro gymnastics and weight training. Strength was measured by a Jamar dynamometer and consisted of a continuous handgrip movement lasting for 30 seconds. Information about demographic, socio-economic and behavioral variables was collected by questionnaire. ANOVA and paired t-test were used to compare the means of strength. The significance level was 5%. Results: Dominant and non-dominant handgrip average was 24.2 kgf (+8.3) and 22.0 kgf (+7.3), respectively. There was no significant difference in the mean handgrip strength between the active and sedentary groups; however, when the type of physical activity was evaluated, the weightlifting group had a significantly higher mean than the gym and aerobics groups. Conclusion: Handgrip strength seems to be associated with the type of activity performed, rather than the amount of time the activity is performed per week.

“…Comparison with other studies in the Brazilian population is hampered by methodological differences. It is important to stress that the methodological characteristics presented here, as well as the suggested recovery time between trials (60 seconds), and the fact that the best result obtained in the test is considered, should be taken into consideration in researches involving the assessment of HGS in any kind of population: in individuals with Down syndrome (30), in athletes (13), or in studies on aging and sarcopenia (31,32). A meticulous and standardized methodological action helps researchers in the correct interpretation and comparison of results.…”

Introduction Muscle fatigue is a phenomenon associated with physical work. It is common in endurance sports, physical fitness tests and daily activities. Some tests can be directly affected by the effect of peripheral muscle fatigue, including the handgrip strength (HGS) test, which is considered baseline measure for assessing the functionality of the hand. Objectives a) verify the effect of peripheral muscle fatigue (between trials) during the testing of HGS, with a 60-second recovery interval; b) to analyze whether there is a difference in considering the mean value obtained in three trials or the best result as the final result. Materials and methods The final sample comprised 1,279 men. We followed the standard methodology and used a hydraulic hand dynamometer. Results There were statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) in the dominant hand among all the trials: first (46.5 ± 8.6 Kgf), second (46.4 ± 8.5 Kgf) and third (46.1 ± 8.6 Kgf); and also in the non-dominant hand: first (44.9 ± 8.4 Kgf), second (44.5 ± 8.3 Kgf) and third (44.0 ± 8.3 Kgf). We also found statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) between the two ways of considering the final result. For the dominant hand, the mean of the three attempts was 46.3 ± 8.3 Kgf and the best result was 48.1 ± 8.5 Kgf, whereas for the non-dominant hand, these results were 44.5 ± 8.2 Kgf and 46.0 ± 8.2 kgf, respectively. Conclusion Peripheral muscle fatigue directly interferes in the final result. A significant reduction in strength levels occurs in course of the assessment. The best result is frequently obtained at the first trial, which indicates that the highest value obtained should be considered as the final result.

Introdução: A redução da força de preensão manual pode afetar a capacidade funcional (atividades básicas e instrumentais de vida diária), acarretar limitações funcionais e afetar a qualidade de vida. Objetivo: verificar a relação entre a força de preensão manual e a capacidade funcional dos idosos ativos participantes de grupos de convivência. Métodos: Trata-se de um recorte da pesquisa do tipo analítica com delineamento transversal e abordagem quantitativa, intitulada “Estudo dos parâmetros motores e fatores associados em idosos pertencentes a grupo de convivência”. A amostra foi composta por 82 idosos, todos responderam a um instrumento contendo avaliação cognitiva, dados sociodemográficos, condições de saúde, avaliação da capacidade funcional e força de preensão manual. As análises de dados foram realizadas através do software estatístico SPSS, versão 20.0, sendo que para verificar as associações entre as variáveis do estudo utilizou-se do Teste do Qui-quadrado de Pearson, com um nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Foi possível verificar associação entre as variáveis dependente nas ABVD e a limitação na FPM (p=0,004) e entre dependente nas AIVD e a limitação na FPM (p=0,001). Conclusão: Diante dos resultados encontrados verificou-se que a Força de Preensão Manual nos idosos avaliados serve como indicador de funcionalidade, visto que os idosos que apresentaram dependência nas atividades básicas e instrumentais de vida diária apresentaram limitação da Força de Preensão Manual.
