Özet:

 Objective Although the relationship between anthropometry and grip strength has been determined between different ethnic populations, few studies have addressed their impact on performance. This study was conducted to evaluate the hypothesis that hand anthropometry is associated with grip strength and dexterity among young adults. Material and Method 197 healthy students between the ages of 18-25 included in the study. The socio-demographic information of the participants, including age, height, body weight, and gender, was recorded. As a hand anthropometric measurement, hand length, hand width, hand spam length, finger length, and palm length were measured with a tape measure. Handgrip strength was evaluated with a handgrip dynamometer, and dexterity was evaluated with the Nine-Hole Peg Test NHPT. Results According to the results of our study, it was determined that all anthropometric measurements and grip strength values and the NHPT insertion scores of both upper extremities were significantly higher in men than in women p0.05. All anthropometric measurements were found to be significantly higher in left-dominant subjects p0.05. It was observed that all anthropometric measurements and grip strength for both upper extremities, except finger lengths, were significantly higher in overweight individuals than in normal individuals p0.05. It was determined that all anthropometric measurements showed a strong positive r0.500.74 correlation with each other and with grip strength p0.001. In addition, it was determined that the NHPT scores of the right upper extremity showed a moderate positive r 0.25  0.49 correlation with the anthropometric measurement values and grip strength p0.001. Conclusion In our study, the hypothesis that hand anthropometric characteristics are related to hand grip strength and dexterity has been confirmed.

 Amaç Antropometri ve kavrama kuvveti ilişkisi farklı etnik popülasyonlar arasında saptanmış olsa da çok az sayıdaki çalışmada bunların performans üzerindeki etkisi ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışma, el antropometrisinin genç yetişkinler arasında kavrama kuvveti ve el becerisi ile ilişkili olduğu hipotezini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem Çalışmaya, 18-25 yaş aralığında 197 sağlıklı öğrenci alındı. Katılımcıların yaş, boy, vücut ağırlığı, cinsiyet gibi bilgileri içeren sosyo-demografik bilgileri kaydedildi. El antropometrik ölçümü olarak; el uzunlukları, el genişlikleri, el spam uzunlukları, parmak uzunlukları ve avuç içi uzunlukları mezura ile ölçüldü. El kavrama kuvveti el kavrama dinamometresiyle, el beceri değerlendirmesi ise Dokuz Delikli Peg Testiyle DDPT değerlendirildi. Bulgular Çalışmamızın sonuçlarına göre tüm antropometrik ölçümlerin ve kavrama kuvveti değerlerinin ve her iki üst ekstremiteye ait DDPT Testi takma skorlarının erkeklerde kadınlardan anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu tespit edildi p0,05. Tüm antropometrik ölçümlerin sol dominant olan kişilerde anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu belirlendi p0,05. Her iki üst ekstremite için parmak uzunlukları dışındaki diğer tüm antropometrik ölçümlerin ve kavrama kuvvetinin kilolu bireylerde normal vücut ağırlıklı bireylere göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu gözlemlendi p0,05. Tüm antropometrik ölçümlerin birbiri ile ve kavrama kuvveti ile pozitif yönde güçlü r 0,50  0,74 korelasyon gösterdiği tespit edildi p0,001. Ayrıca sağ üst ekstremite DDPT skorlarının antropometrik ölçüm değerleri ve kavrama kuvveti ile pozitif yönde orta düzeyde r 0,25  0,49 korelasyon gösterdiği belirlendi p0,001. Sonuç Çalışmamızda, el antropometrik karakteristikleri ile el kavrama kuvvetinin ve el becerisinin ilişkili olduğu hipotezi doğrulanmıştır.
