GRIP STRENGTH!!
Can you guess which staff member has the highest grip strength??
Why Mikayla tests grip strength:
1. Overall Strength Indicator: It gives a fast snapshot of your general muscle strength — without doing a full workout or complex tests.
2. Functional Ability: Good grip strength is important for everyday tasks like lifting, holding, or using tools. Weak grip can make daily life harder.
3. Health Check-In: Research shows that low grip strength can be linked to poor health outcomes, especially as we age. It can help pick up early signs of conditions like frailty, poor nutrition, or muscle loss.
4. Tracking Progress: If you’re doing strength training or recovering from injury, we use it to measure improvement over time.
So in simple terms, it’s a small test with big clues about your overall strength and health.
