 * THE STUDY OF GRIP STRENGTH IN PEOPLES HANDS **

The purpose of this experiment was to find out if different sensations applied to the senses made a significant difference in someone’s grip strength. People are able to apply force with their hands because the extrinsic muscles are working to relax and contract. The method chosen to execute the first experiment was people were taken to a silent place and told to listen to music and squeeze. Once the averages were taken, it was determined that the rock category of music made people the strongest. This is because people like rock and when something’s enjoyable is being played, the brain releases dopamine which makes some people a little bit stronger.
 * ABSTRACT **

If this experiment could be improved more precise times of music being introduced. The same people would be tested for the most accurate results. For future experiments, someone could figure out if different places in food pyramid affect grip strength positively, negatively, or not at all. Another possible experiment could be if different photos and pictures affect strength.
