 * THE STUDY OF THE CHANGE OF GRIP STRENGTH AFTER DOING DIFFERENT EXERCISE **

The purpose of this experiment was to find out the change in grip strength after doing different exercises. When a ball is kicked or a wagon is pulled that is contact force, an example of field force is a magnet or gravity. The volunteers do the exercise then make them squeeze the grip strength probe. It was determined that doing pushups decreased your grip strength by 6 N, doing sit-ups increased your grip strength by 11.75 N. That happened because pushups are the only exercise of the four that the volunteer’s grip strength decreases because when the volunteers do pushups their hands get a lot of pressure.
 * ABSTRACT **


 * CONCLUSION **

It was found that doing sit ups increased the volunteer’s grip strength by 11.75 N. When the volunteers did pushups their grip strength decreased by 6 N. These results are important to the world because if somebody wants to know what exercise is the best for the hand the person can find out with these results. The hypothesis was correct, because it stated that the pushups would decrease the grip strength of the volunteers. Some future follow up experiments would be the grip strength comparing boys and girls.
