The Effects of Passive Simulated Jogging on Parameters of Explosive Handgrip in Nondiabetics and Type 2 Diabetics: A Single Arm Study

Figure 1

Study protocol. Participants were asked to fast for 8 hr prior to the initial baseline modified explosive handgrip strength (EHGS) test. On the day of enrollment, participants were familiarized with the modified EHGS test by carrying out two practice sessions. During the visit, participants were instructed on the use of the jogging device (JD). Participants were asked to use JD a minimum of 3 times for 30 min per day for 7 days (JD1-7). On the evening of day 7, participants were asked to stop the use of JD and fast for 8 hrs. On day 10 (3 days after discontinuation of JD), a repeat EHGS was performed (Carryover). On each visit day, participants carried out a practice modified EHGS test, followed 1 hr later by duplicate EHGS test measurements.
