The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of hand and body dimensions on hand grip strength and to define a reference scale for talent identification in basketball players.
Body and hand anthropometric data and the maximal handgrip strength of 109 female Italian basketball National players (Under14-Seniores) were measured.
Handgrip strength and arm length trend increased, raising the statistical significant differences only for players from the age of 19 (U20, Seniores) with respect to sub-elite groups (U14, U15) (P<0.05). Handgrip strength showed low positive correlations with height and Body Mass Index but a positive relationships with arm length (r=0.5; P<0.001). Findings underline training and years of practice have effects on increasing handgrip strength.
Data show that to select female basketball players by arm length means selecting by handgrip strength. Thus it is possible to suggest that in addition to height, arm length could also be considered a useful parameter in young female talent identification.
本研究旨在调查手和身体尺寸对握力的影响，并为篮球运动员的人才识别确定一个参考标准。
测量了109名意大利女子篮球国家运动员（14岁以下-成年组）的身体和手部人体测量数据以及最大握力。
握力和臂长呈上升趋势，仅19岁（U20、成年组）的运动员与次精英组（U14、U15）相比，差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。握力与身高和体重指数呈低度正相关，但与臂长呈正相关（r=0.5；P<0.001）。研究结果强调训练和练习年限对增加握力有影响。
数据表明，通过臂长选择女子篮球运动员意味着通过握力进行选择。因此，可以认为除了身高外，臂长也可能是年轻女子人才识别中的一个有用参数。
