This study investigates the correlation between grip strength and body composition variables, specifically height, weight, and Body Mass Index (BMI), to understand how different physical characteristics influence strength and functionality. A diverse sample of 50 participants, aged 18-35, including both male and female subjects, was analysed. Grip strength was measured using a dynamometer, while height, weight, and BMI were recorded using standard methods. Statistical analysis, including Pearson correlation coefficients and significance testing, revealed moderate to strong positive correlations between grip strength and the body composition variables. Taller and heavier individuals, as well as those with higher BMI, exhibited greater grip strength. These findings suggest that body size and composition significantly impact grip strength, with potential implications for training and health assessments. However, the study's limitations, including a small sample size and lack of control for other influencing factors, highlight the need for further research with larger and more diverse populations. Future studies should also explore the impact of specific interventions on both body composition and grip strength.
