dc.description.abstractMaximal handgrip strength and endurance are important indicators of upper limb function in older adults. Up to now, there is insufficient information regarding the efficacy of specialized strength training programs for improving handgrip strength. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an 8-week specialized handgrip strength training program on maximal handgrip strength and endurance in healthy older women. A randomized controlled trial was performed. Thirty-six healthy older women (>65 years) were randomly divided into a training group (TG) (n = 18) and a control group (CG) (n = 18). The TG participated in an 8-week specialized handgrip strength training program using rubber balls and hand grippers (2 training sessions/week, 10−15 min, 8–15 repetitions/set, 4–6 total sets/session). Prior to and after the completion of the program, maximal handgrip strength and dynamic endurance (indices: repeated maximal repetitions and percentage change in handgrip strength between first and last 6 repetitions) were assessed in both hands. Repeated measures MANOVA results indicated that maximal handgrip strength (+9.3%–10.4%) and strength values during repeated maximal repetitions (+14% to 27%) significantly increased in TG (p < 0.001), while the percentage change in handgrip strength between the first and last 6 repetitions decreased significantly (−6%) (p < 0.05), irrespective of the tested hand. The results of this study showed that an 8-week specialized handgrip strength training program can be used effectively by athletic trainers, physical and hand therapists to counteract the detrimental effects of the aging process on maximal handgrip strength and endurance in older adults. © 2020 SFCMen
