Correlation between Hand Grip Strength and Core Muscle Strength in Cricket Players

The purpose of this study was to find the correlation between the hand grip strength and the core muscle strength in cricket players of age group 17, 18 and 19. A sample of 100 subjects was assessed, which includes 43 subjects of 17 years, 26 subjects of 18 years and 31 subjects of 19 years. All the participants were assessed for the height, weight, BMI, the hand grip strength of the dominant hand and the non-dominant hand and core muscle strength. Hand grip strength was assessed with a hydraulic hand held dynamometer and the core muscle strength was assessed with Pressure Biofeedback Unit. The results of this study indicated that there is weak correlation between the hand grip strength of dominant hand and non-dominant hand with core muscle strength.
