Analysis of Hand and Leg Squeezing Muscle Strength in UNIBA Students Class 2022 Class A

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of strength of the squeezing muscles and leg muscles in students of PGRI Banyuwangi University class A class of 2022, as well as how these strengths support their performance in daily physical activities. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method with data collection through strength tests using hand grip and back and leg dynamometers. The research sample consisted of all students in class 22A. The results of measuring the strength of the hand squeeze muscles showed that (31.6%) of male students were in the "good" category, while (15.8%) female students were in the same category. Measurements of leg muscle strength showed that most male and female college students were in the "less" or "less" category. These findings show that there is a need to increase muscle strength, especially in the leg muscles, so that students can have optimal physical performance in daily activities.
