ABSTRACT
Background:
Handgrip strength (HGS) is an important parameter to assess the upper extremity muscular strength. Aims andObjectives:
Aim of the study is to record HGS in healthy young males and to compare with fat mass (FM), fat-free mass, fat-free mass index, and to find out which is better correlated. Materials andMethods:
A total of one hundred and fourteen first year male medical students of age between 17 and 22 years were taken as sample.Results:
The correlation between fat free mass, fat free mass index with HGS was found to be extremely significant whereas correlation between FAT%, FM with HGS was not significant.Conclusion:
Increase in lean body mass increases muscular strength as fat-free mass and fat-free mass index positively and significantly correlated with HGS.
