Regulatory classifications of handgrip strength in children and adolescents living in a moderate altitude region of Peru
The study demonstrated discrepancies in HGS between schoolchildren living in a moderate altitude region of Peru and neighboring regions. This allowed us to propose percentiles to evaluate HGS by age and sex. The results suggest its use in educational and clinical contexts.
