- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The arbitrarily applied grip strength is defined as the primary target parameter. In addition to the grip strength, the maximum strength of the forearm flexors in the boulder-typical half-crimp position, strength endurance and strength development are measured.<br>These parameters are recorded at the beginning of the study and as a follow-up after a three-week intervention. The study is considered to have ended when all test subjects have been measured for the second time.
