Handgrip strength predicts leg power but not cardiorespiratory fitness in children
These findings highlight that HGS may serve as a simple and practical indicator of musculoskeletal fitness, aiding early detection of functional limitations and informing physical development strategies in children Saudi boys, suggesting that HGS may be used to predict SLJ distance in this population.
