Hey Joe Bear,
According to your profile, it looks like your main question regarding grip strength is "does handgrip differ between males and females". Is that the question you are trying to answer? To measure handgrip you need a dynamometer, which can be a bit expensive. You can make your own by using a bulldog clip and some popsicle sticks. There is a picture (no instructions) of one at this website: http://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/contexts ... p_strength. You could experiment with the design and then figure out a way to calibrate it so that you can perform your experiment. Hope this helps!
