Abstract

Objective: Whether or not an athlete plays with sports equipment in their hands may influence handgrip strength (HGS) changes during development, but longitudinal studies have not confirmed this. This study compared one-year HGS changes between two sports types (soccer vs. kendo) in children and adolescent athletes.

Methods: One hundred sixty-eight young athletes (86 kendo boys and 82 soccer boys) had two HGS measurements separated by 1 year. A 2 (sports) by 2 (timepoints 1 and 2) repeated measures ANOVA was used to determine whether HGS changed differently between sports.

Results: There was no evidence for a sport × time interaction in HGS (p = 0.14); however, the mean difference and 95% CI were in the direction of favoring a greater change in kendo athletes [difference of 0.6 (95% CI: -0.2, 1.5) kg]. There was a main effect of time and sport. Kendo athletes had a 4.6 (95% CI: 1.8, 7.5) kg greater HGS than soccer athletes. There was no evidence that the change in HGS between sports depended on the initial age of the athlete (p = 0.205).

Conclusion: Using sports equipment during play may positively affect HGS.

运动类型对年轻运动员手握强度变化的影响比较

目的：运动员是否手握运动器材可能会影响其成长过程中手握力量（HGS）的变化，但纵向研究尚未证实这一点。本研究比较了两种运动类型（足球与剑道）的儿童和青少年运动员一年的手握力变化：168 名年轻运动员（86 名剑道男孩和 82 名足球男孩）进行了两次 HGS 测量，测量时间间隔为 1 年。采用 2（运动）乘 2（时间点 1 和 2）重复测量方差分析来确定不同运动的 HGS 变化是否不同：没有证据表明 HGS 存在运动 × 时间的交互作用（p = 0.14）；但是，平均差异和 95% CI 都倾向于剑道运动员的变化更大[差异为 0.6（95% CI：-0.2，1.5）公斤]。时间和运动项目具有主效应。剑道运动员的 HGS 比足球运动员高 4.6（95% CI：1.8，7.5）公斤。没有证据表明不同运动的 HGS 变化取决于运动员的初始年龄（p = 0.205）：结论：在比赛中使用运动器材可能会对 HGS 产生积极影响。

期刊介绍： The American Journal of Human Biology is the Official Journal of the Human Biology Association. The American Journal of Human Biology is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed, internationally circulated journal that publishes reports of original research, theoretical articles and timely reviews, and brief communications in the interdisciplinary field of human biology. As the official journal of the Human Biology Association, the Journal also publishes abstracts of research presented at its annual scientific meeting and book reviews relevant to the field. The Journal seeks scholarly manuscripts that address all aspects of human biology, health, and disease, particularly those that stress comparative, developmental, ecological, or evolutionary perspectives. The transdisciplinary areas covered in the Journal include, but are not limited to, epidemiology, genetic variation, population biology and demography, physiology, anatomy, nutrition, growth and aging, physical performance, physical activity and fitness, ecology, and evolution, along with their interactions. The Journal publishes basic, applied, and methodologically oriented research from all areas, including measurement, analytical techniques and strategies, and computer applications in human biology. Like many other biologically oriented disciplines, the field of human biology has undergone considerable growth and diversification in recent years, and the expansion of the aims and scope of the Journal is a reflection of this growth and membership diversification. The Journal is committed to prompt review, and priority publication is given to manuscripts with novel or timely findings, and to manuscripts of unusual interest.
