Table 1 Parameters of muscle strength assessed by handgrip measurements
Parameter/Ratio | Formula | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
Fmax | Fmax [kg] | Maximum grip strength within one session (ten repeat trials) |
Fmean | \(\frac{\sum 10\mathrm{ pulls }}{10}\) | Mean grip strength of all ten trials |
Fatigue ratio (assessment of fatigability) | \(\frac{\mathrm{Fmax}}{\mathrm{Fmean}}\) | Higher values indicate stronger decrease of force during one session |
Recovery ratio (assessment of recoverability) | \(\frac{\mathrm{Fmean}2}{\mathrm{ Fmean}1}\) | Low values indicate impaired recovery |
