Neural
Peak velocity, peak power, peak force, and catch height were significantly greater when using the hook grip at all or most of the submaximal intensities.
Athletes may achieve better performance metrics at submaximal loads using the hook grip.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Peak velocity (ES = 0.41-0.70), peak power (ES = 0.43-0.61), peak force (ES = 0.50-0.57), and catch height (ES = 0.40-0.96) were significantly greater (P < .05) when using the HG at all or most of the submaximal intensities.
Why this rating
The results are statistically significant and based on objective measurements.
