Grip

 

In professional athletic training, grip strength is used as an indicator of overall body strength and musculoskeletal fitness. This experience recreates that test in a visitor-friendly format that provides immediate results. Visitors squeeze a handgrip dynamometer, and the measurement of their grip strength is shown in a digital readout or by cascading LED lights. Visitors can test either hand and compare their results to others' in this great conversation-starting challenge.

The Grip, Balance, Reaction, Flexibility and Endurance exhibits make a great group that covers multiple fitness topics in a visitor-friendly format.
