Handgrip strength is important in basketball as various movements rely on continuous use of wrist and digits flexors in catching, holding and shooting the ball where significant degree of grip strength is needful for the success. The comparison between handgrip strength measurements in dominant hand and non-dominant hand in basketball players remains largely unreported Objectives: To compare handgrip strength measurement of dominant hand and non-dominant hand in basketball players. Method: A cross sectional study in which 50 basketball players of age (15-25 years) of both genders were assessed in the study. The players were selected using universal sampling technique. Handgrip strength was measured in both dominant and non-dominant hand with subjects in sitting position, elbow flexed 900, forearm in midprone position, wrist extended between 0-300 and ulnarly deviated. The subject held dynamometer and explained that the adjustable handle of the dynamometer does not move while gripping it. Handgrip strength was measured in kilogram force units as indicated on the outer aspect of the dial by the red peak needle. statistical Analysis: Data collected were subjected to statistical analysis using spss version 17, which was used to create graphs and tables. The comparison between the handgrip strength of dominant and nondominant hand was done using z-test. Results: In this present study mean values of hand grip strength of dominant hand is 34.644kg and in nondominant hand is 32.694kg there is no significant increase in the handgrip strength in dominant and non-dominant hand was found (t=1.365, p=.176) Conclusion: The study concludes that there is increase in handgrip strength measurement of dominant hand than non-dominant hand of basketball players. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
