In volleyball, the upper limb dimensions and grip strength greatly influence offensive and defensive movements during a match. However, the relationship between these parameters remains underexplored in elite female volleyball players. This study aimed to contrast the upper limb anthropometric characteristics and handgrip strength (HGS) of female elite volleyball players against a control group. Selected upper limb anthropometric parameters and maximal HGS of 42 female volleyball players and 40 non-athletes were measured. Players exhibited higher values in almost all variables studied than non-athletes. The differences were statistically significant ( < 0.001) except for body mass index and elbow and wrist diameters. Players showed a moderate correlation between dominant HGS and hand parameters (length r = 0.43 and breadth r = 0.63; < 0.05). Weak correlations were identified with height, upper arm length, elbow diameter, and hand shape index (r = 0.32 to 0.38; < 0.05). In the non-dominant hand, a moderate correlation with handbreadth (r = 0.55, ≤ 0.01) and weak correlations with upper arm length, wrist diameter, hand length, and hand shape index (r = 0.32 to 0.35; ≤ 0.05) was found. These findings underscore the importance of the upper limb anthropometric parameters as predictors of HGS and their utility in athlete selection. Future research should investigate biomechanical factors influencing HGS and injury prevention.
在排球运动中，上肢尺寸和握力对比赛中的攻防动作有很大影响。然而，在精英女排运动员中，这些参数之间的关系仍未得到充分研究。本研究旨在对比精英女排运动员与对照组的上肢人体测量特征和握力（HGS）。测量了42名女排运动员和40名非运动员的选定上肢人体测量参数和最大握力。运动员在几乎所有研究变量中的值都高于非运动员。除体重指数、肘部和腕部直径外，差异具有统计学意义（<0.001）。运动员优势手的握力与手部参数之间存在中度相关性（长度r = 0.43，宽度r = 0.63；<0.05）。与身高、上臂长度、肘部直径和手形指数存在弱相关性（r = 0.32至0.38；<0.05）。在非优势手中，与手宽存在中度相关性（r = 0.55，≤0.01），与上臂长度、腕部直径、手长和手形指数存在弱相关性（r = 0.32至0.35；≤0.05）。这些发现强调了上肢人体测量参数作为握力预测指标的重要性及其在运动员选拔中的作用。未来的研究应调查影响握力的生物力学因素和损伤预防。
