Grip Strength in Racket Sports

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between hand grip strength of male tennis, squash, table tennis and badminton players. A total of 100 male athletes participated in the study tennis (n = 25), squash (n = 25), table tennis (n = 25) and badminton (n = 25). The athletes' body lengths, body weights and Body mass indexes (BMI) were calculated, hand grip strength measurements were made, averages and standard deviations of some anthropometric features were calculated. One-way ANOVA was used for parametric tests to determine the differences between the groups when multiple groups were compared independently. The statistical analyzes used in the study were performed at 95% confidence interval, 0.05 and 0.01 error levels. SPSS 20.0 package program was used for statistical analysis of the data. As a result, although there is no statistical difference (p>0.05) between the groups, it can be said that this result is significant when considering the importance of grip strength in racket sports
