Abstract
Louise Myles studied how and why Australian adult Handgrip strength is assessed including what factors most strongly predict handgrip strength. Biological factors (age, gender, height, hand length and width and forearm circumference) and functional factors (work and lifestyle demands) have a significant influence on HGS and should be considered when evaluating handgrip strength.
