This study aimed to determine the difference between hand grip strengths of tennis, table tennis, basketball, and volleyball players. A total of 80 male athletes from tennis (n = 20), table tennis (n = 20), basketball (n = 20), and volleyball (n = 20) branches participated in the study. Body mass index (BMI) of the athletes was calculated and then hand grip strength measurements were taken. The average and standard deviations of various anthropometric properties of the athletes participating in the study were calculated. One-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA), one of the parametric tests, was used to determine the differences between branches (p;0.05). As a result, it was determined that the hand grip strength of tennis and table tennis athletes is higher than the hand grip strength of volleyball and basketball athletes.
