Hand Grip Strength Changes in Elite Ice Hockey Players
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tracks how hand grip strength changes throughout a competitive ice hockey season in professional players. Researchers want to understand whether grip strength stays stable or changes as players train and compete, which could help prevent injuries and optimize performance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a professional ice hockey player competing in a top Swedish league (SHL, HockeyAllsvenskan, SDHL, or equivalent)
- You are available to have your hand grip strength tested at multiple timepoints throughout the entire season
- You do not have an acute hand or wrist injury at the start of the study that would prevent you from squeezing as hard as possible
- You are able to perform maximum-effort hand grip strength tests without pain or limitations
- You commit to completing all scheduled grip strength measurements and cannot miss any testing sessions
