Gain insights into potential health outcomes by assessing your hand and forearm strength. Grip strength is a measure of more than just strength, it can indicate variations in bone and cardiovascular health, connective tissue, mobility and more. A higher grip strength is associated with better health, and it’s an easy metric to test and improve.
You’ll squeeze a metal tool called a hand dynamometer as hard as you can while keeping your arm and hand in the correct position. You’ll repeat this several times on both sides of the body. Following the test, you’ll have a 30 minute consultation with a Master’s-level performance physiologist about your unique results and how to improve them.
For most, assessing grip strength annually is sufficient. For serious athletes or those focused specifically on improving grip strength, more frequent testing may be recommended.
The test is beneficial for both athletes and individuals looking to optimize their long-term health. Grip strength analysis allows athletes to measure muscle strength, which can improve stability, prevent injury and enhance overall performance. Studies have also shown that grip strength is also a reliable indicator of overall health and muscle functionality as you age.
