摘要：The method assessing the strength of grip is often used, especialy in sports end physical therapy clinics to measure the force exerted by the hand by pressing a cylindrical object. In search of values concise, several studies are carried out in order to reproduce a type of protocol to standardize the results. However, some factors should be considered such as gender, age, hand domain, time of evaluation, grip, adjust the power meter in hand accuracy in the applicability of the anthropometric characteristics, they may is not influence or force palm grip. The test was done with use of digital dynamometer, standing in the anatomical position, with the field of student hand with elbow flexion at 45º degrees and adjusts the grip. Orther anthropometric data were collected: the sun of four skinfolds, waits and hip circumference, weight and weight. The aim of this study was to compare muscle forces in 32 students aged between 11 and 15 years of different body composition: underweight end normal weight versus overweight and obesity. There was no statistically significant difference in outcomes between the groups. The results suggest that body composition is not a determinant of muscle strength in adolescence and suggest that further studies can be done with this population. Key words: Grip strength; Maturational levels; Adolescents; Body composition.
