- Study examines the relationship between handgrip strength and vertical jump performance in Olympic female volleyball athletes.
- Sixteen female Olympic volleyball players participated, performing countermovement vertical jumps (CMJ) and handgrip strength tests.
- Results showed moderate to strong associations between handgrip strength and CMJ performance metrics.
- Dominant handgrip strength correlated significantly with 8 out of 9 CMJ metrics, while the nondominant hand correlated with 5.
- Findings suggest dominant hand strength may better predict overall CMJ performance in these athletes.
