About Handgrip Strength Test Android App

Procedure for Conducting Handgrip Strength Test
The purpose of the handgrip strength test is to measure the maximum isometric strength of the hand and forearm muscles. Handgrip strength is important for any sport in which the hands are used for catching, throwing or lifting. Also, as a general rule people with strong hands tend to be strong elsewhere, so this test is often used as a general test of strength.

Required Resources
To undertake this test you will require:
- handgrip dynamometer

How to conduct the test
1. The subject warms up for 5 minutes
2. The subject holds the dynamometer in the hand to be tested, with the arm at right angles and the elbow by the side of the body.
3. The handle of the dynamometer is adjusted if required - the base should rest on the first metacarpal (heel of palm), while the handle should rest on middle of the four fingers.
4. When ready the subject squeezes the dynamometer with maximum isometric effort, which is maintained for about 5 seconds.
5. No other body movement is allowed.
6. The subject should be strongly encouraged to give a maximum effort.
