The Effect of Wrist Grip Angle on Traumatic Symptoms in Body Builders

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the acute effect on the traumatic symptoms and angle of the wrist joint when lifting the weight. This study included three hundred males. The age range of the individuals was determined to be 18- 40. After determining the aged 22,92 +/- 6,2 years and bodyweight of 77,20 +/- 12,2 kg (range, 55-113 kg) the participants, their angle of comprehension was examined. Before and after lifting weights, a visual pain scale was used for wrist pain level and the normal range of motion of the wrist was measured with a digital goniometer. When lifting weights, wrist joint angle was measured with a digital goniometer. It was determined that the participants did not have pre-test pain. There was no statistical difference in wrist joint limitation (p> 0.05). However, when the joint position of the wrist was 15 degrees extension, it was found that there was statistically less pain than other wrist joint positions (p <0.05). The findings of this study are to assist bodybuilders to work healthier and more consciously by providing less wrist injuries while lifting weights. As a result of this study, bodybuilders can be a guide in terms of continuing to be in a more successful and healthy sports life.
