Grip strength is the force applied by the hand to pull on or suspend from objects and is a specific part of hand strength . Optimum-sized objects permit the hand to wrap around a cylindrical shape with a diameter from one to three inches.

Grip strength
Anaerobic exercise
Anaerobic exercise is exercise intense enough to trigger anaerobic metabolism . It is used by athletes in non-endurance sports to promote strength, speed and power and by body builders to build muscle mass. Muscle energy systems trained using anaerobic exercise develop differently compared to aerobic exercise , leading to greater performance in short duration, high intensity activities, which last from mere seconds to up to about 2 minutes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Any activity lasting longer than about two minutes has a large aerobic metabolic component. [ citation needed ]Stretching is a form of physical exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon (or muscle group) is deliberately flexed or stretched in order to improve the muscle's felt elasticity and achieve comfortable muscle tone . [ 1 ] The result is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility and range of motion.
