Reply to "Enhancing Grip Strength Through Grip Training with Strengtheners"

Thanks for sharing, I think the training of grip strength should required long-term training. I'm actually curious about will the training of grip strength improve people's capability in performing dexterous skills, or are there any effective way to improve it? Thankyou.

Hey Bernice! Thanks for the suggestion about extending the training period, and I totally agree with you.

I can't guarantee that grip training can improve dexterity, though—this would be a whole new topic to research.

When I was brainstorming project ideas, I came across dexterity too. I think this topic is really complex and nuanced because 1) dexterity is not exactly strength, 2) some studies have shown that there are "strength-dexterity trade-offs," meaning that the two indices have a negative correlation or something . . . complex indeed.
