The purpose of this study was to examine how gender of young adults in Taiwan affected the ability of their hands to apply force regarding the use of the left or right hand and the varying sequences of force application. Maximal voluntary contraction of grip (MVCg ) and hand-grip control (HGC 50% ) of 200 participants was measured. The study discovered that gender showed significant differences in the scale of MVC g, whereas there were no significant differences in HGC 50% . Left hand versus right hand resulted in significant differences in the scale of MVC g, whereas there were no significant differences in the scale of HGC 50% . The 5 levels of the sequence of force application showed no significant differences in either MVC g or HGC 50% . The interactive effects of the 3 factors (gender, hand, and sequence of force application) showed no significant differences. The results of the study can serve as a reference in designing tools.
本研究旨在探讨台湾地区年轻人的性别如何影响其双手的施力能力，包括使用左手或右手以及不同的施力顺序。研究共纳入了 200 名参与者，测量了他们的最大握力（MVCg）和 50%握力控制（HGC 50%）。研究发现，性别在 MVCg 量表上存在显著差异，而在 HGC 50%方面则没有显著差异。左手与右手相比，在 MVCg 量表上存在显著差异，而在 HGC 50%量表上则没有显著差异。5 个力的施加顺序水平在 MVCg 和 HGC 50%方面均无显著差异。3 个因素（性别、手和力的施加顺序）的交互作用无显著差异。本研究结果可作为工具设计的参考。
