Description
Summary:This study aims to evaluate hand grip strength with respect to handedness in Turkish male and female athletes. Data were collected from 268 female and 1,234 male participants. There was no significant difference between right- and left-hand grip strength only in male left-handers. Right-hand grip strength was greater than left-hand grip strength without regard to handedness in both genders, but left-handed athletes had stronger non-dominant hands.
