Contributions of muscle mass to force production in different maturation stages

Objectives: The aim in this study was to analyze the relationship between handgrip strength and muscle mass. Method: One hundred and forty five subjects (aged between 8 and 16 years) were divided into three groups: pre-puberty, puberty and post-puberty. The arm muscle area was estimated by anthropom...

Sumario:Objectives: The aim in this study was to analyze the relationship between handgrip strength and muscle mass. Method: One hundred and forty five subjects (aged between 8 and 16 years) were divided into three groups: pre-puberty, puberty and post-puberty. The arm muscle area was estimated by anthropometry and skinfolds, and handgrip strength was evaluated with hydraulic dynamometer. The maturation stages were compared by using the Kruskall-Wallis test followed by U for Mann-Whitnney the location of differences. Spearman correlations was used to handgrip strength and muscle mass (p
