Resumo: | The objective of this study was to examine the association between hangrip strength and physical fitness in children and adolescents at different stages of sexual maturation. We measured body composition and handgrip strength in 233 children and adolescents (10 - 17 years-old), who varied in terms of pubertal status. The subjects also performed the vertical jump test, standing long jump and sit-ups, as well as tests of flexibility, agility and speed. The level of energy expenditure was assessed with the international physical activity questionnaire. Handgrip strength differed by pubertal status, regardless of gender, whereas other parameters of physical fitness differed by gender and in the sample as a whole. Handgrip strength was consistently and independently associated with all other physical fitness variables, regardless of gender; some of those were mediated by energy expenditure (i.e., speed in seconds and in meters per second for the sample as a whole). The strength of the association between handgrip strength and physical fitness ranged from 20% (vertical jump test: R2=.20; P=.001) to 47% (speed in meters per second: R2=.47; P=.001). Our results support the idea that handgrip strength is consistently associated with several distinct parameters of physical fitness, regardless of age, gender or sexual maturation, suggesting that handgrip strength could be a highly accurate, independent predictor of physical fitness. |

Foram medidos a composição corporal e a força de preensão em 233 crianças e adolescentes (10 - 17 anos de idade), de diferentes estágios de maturação biológica. Também foram realizados os testes de impulsão vertical sem auxílio dos membros superiores, teste de abdominal, flexibilidade, agilidade e velocidade. O gasto de energético foi avaliado através das respostas ao questionário IPAQ. A força de preensão manual diferiu entre os diferentes estágios de maturação sexual. As outras variáveis de aptidão física diferiram entre os sexos. A força de preensão manual esteve associada com todas as outras variáveis da aptidão física, independentemente do sexo e da maturação sexual. Algumas dessas associações foram mediadas pelo gasto energético. A força da associação entre a força de preensão e de aptidão física variou de 20 % (teste de salto vertical: R2=0,20, P = 0,001) a 47% (velocidade em metros por segundo: R2=0,47, P = 0,001). Nossos resultados suportam a hipótese de que a força de preensão manual está associada com vários parâmetros distintos de aptidão física, independentemente da idade, sexo ou maturação sexual, sugerindo que a força de preensão manual pode ser um preditor da aptidão física geral de crianças e adolescentes.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
