USING ADDITIONAL MEASURES OF HANDGRIP STRENGTH TO PREDICT AEROBIC CAPACITY IN WHEELCHAIR USERS
… users have specific boundaries. Measuring handgrip strength (HGS) with electronic handgrip dynamometers has been shown to be a reliable measure of muscle function and a convenient assessment of overall muscle strength. This study aimed to determine the correlation of maximal HGS, HGS rate …

An investigation of the ergonomics and biomechanics of rifle shooting from the standing position
… was dependent on the attributes of the shooter. Handgrip forces were found to be well below the maximum handgrip strength. An exploratory investigation of the interrelationships among foot forces, rifle recoil and angular and linear displacements was carried out. No horizontal foot forces to …

Effect of a Sliding Scale Vitamin D Supplementation Protocol on 25(OH)D Status in Elite Athletes with Spinal Cord Injury
… which may be associated with decreased muscle strength. This study: 1) examined the effects of a 16-week sliding scale Vitamin D supplementation protocol on 25(OH)D concentration and 2) determined whether subsequent 25(OH)D status impacts muscle performance in elite athletes with SCI. …

Effects of training with an increase in training bar diameter on strength and functional endurance within older adults
… bar attachment would increase upper limb muscle strength and endurance (primary outcome measure: handgrip strength; secondary outcome measures: handgrip endurance, upper body strength) to a greater extent than individuals who completed a program without the attachment. To the author’s knowledge …

Physical Function During Performance-Based Tasks and Throughout Daily Life. Is It Different Across Levels of Frailty?
… lower body muscular endurance, and non-dominant handgrip strength. Walking at a preferred pace was more related to frailty than walking at maximal pace and grip strength of the non-dominant hand had a stronger association with frailty compared to the dominant hand. In addition, accelerometers …

Assessment of Body Composition and Nutritional Status in Individuals with Obesity Before and in the Long-Term After Bariatric Surgery
… Losses of LST were correlated with decreased handgrip strength. In Chapter 4 we report the results of a validation study to compare the results of a new application of BIS based on multicomponent physiologic models with existing body composition data from DXA in a large NHANES dataset with …

Investigate the nutritional status, including body composition, of oncology patients attending an outpatient clinic at Groote Schuur hospital: a cross-sectional study
… collected. On the second data collection day, handgrip strength (HGS), nutrition risk screening-2002 (NRS-2002), patient generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA), a second a twenty-four-hour recall, alternative muscle mass markers [mid upper arm circumference (MUAC), calf circumference …

The effect of reproductive hormones on muscle function in young and middle-aged females.
… the first five years post-menopause. Muscle strength at this time would have important clinical implications for correcting imbalance and preventing falls. The aim of the studies within this thesis were to 1) determine the rate and time course of force loss of the quadriceps muscle group over …

Impact of inactivity and exercise on the vasculature in humans : the role of blood flow and shear stress on arterial adaptations in healthy males
… NO-mediated endothelial function (i.e. ischaemic handgrip exercise (iEX)), and endothelium-independent dilation to a NO donor (i.e. glyceryl trinitrate (GTN)) were measured at 2, 4 and 8 weeks. Cycle training increased FMD in the non-cuffed limb at week 2 after which, responses returned towards …
