DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: Community-dwelling breast cancer survivors (N=295). INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: 1-RM bench press strength was measured with a barbell and exercise bench. Isometric handgrip strength was measured using an isometric dynamometer, with 3 maximal contractions of the left and right hands. All measures were conducted by staff with training in clinical exercise testing. RESULTS: Among 295 breast cancer survivors, 1-RM bench press strength was 18.2+/-6.1kg (range, 2.2-43.0kg), and isometric handgrip strength was 23.5+/-5.8kg (range, 9.0-43.0kg). The strongest correlate of 1-RM bench press strength was the average isometric handgrip strength of both hands (r=.399; P<.0001). Mean difference analysis suggested that the average isometric handgrip strength of both hands overestimated 1-RM bench press strength by 4.7kg (95% limits of agreement, -8.2 to 17.6kg). In a multivariable linear regression model, the average isometric handgrip strength of both hands (beta=.31; P<.0001) and age (beta=-.20; P<.0001) were positively correlated with 1-RM bench press strength (R(2)=.23). CONCLUSIONS: Isometric handgrip strength is a poor surrogate for 1-RM bench press strength among breast cancer survivors. 1-RM bench press strength and isometric handgrip strength quantify distinct components of muscular strength.
