Grip Sport is a sport which tests competitors’ grip strength, or more widely, hand, wrist, and forearm strength. Though grip strength is often equated with crushing strength (e.g. the ability to squeeze a gripper or someone’s hand), grip strength can be measured along several dimensions. Some of the basic dimensions are described here, though there are several others that may be tested in grip sport.
One of the interesting aspects of grip sport is that the events tend to vary from contest to contest. This can keep training interesting, as there are constantly new challenges. And given that it is such a young sport, many Canadian records are currently attainable by competitors who are willing to put forth the time and effort in their training.
The majority of Canadian grip sport contests are run using standard rules as defined by Grip Sport International (GSI), a centralized sanctioning body to the various international organizations operating in Grip Sport. By following these rules, it ensures that grip sport performances can count towards record lists maintained by GSI.
All Canada Grip Sport contests are open to everyone, with the exception of the Canadian National Grip Sport Championships, which are only open to Canadian residents.
