DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.12863
Abstract: Reduced muscular strength, as measured by absolute grip strength, has been associated with increased risk of some site‐specific cancers. The ability of grip strength to predict other diseases may be affected by whether it is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13110
Abstract: There is a large body of evidence linking muscular weakness, as determined by low grip strength, to a host of negative ageing‐related health outcomes. Given these links, grip strength has been labelled a ‘biomarker of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13223
Abstract: Hand grip strength (HGS) is a powerful indicator of sarcopenia and other adverse health outcomes. Normative values for HGS for general Chinese people with a broad age spectrum are lacking. This study aims to establish… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13723
Abstract: Hand grip strength (HGS) may represent an epidemiologically relevant alternative as an initial screening tool for sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity. However, no study evaluated the performance capacity of HGS compared to other biomarkers in discriminating… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00421-022-04952-0
Abstract: PURPOSE In sport and exercise, warm-ups induce various physiological changes that facilitate subsequent performance. We have shown that delivering patterned stimulation to cutaneous afferents during sprint cycling mitigates fatigue-related decrements in performance, and that repeated… read more here.
