Getting a Grip on the Handgrip Task: Handgrip Duration Correlates with Neuroticism But Not Conscientiousness [PDF]
Questions regarding the replicability of key findings in the self-regulation literature (e.g., ego-depletion effect) have led some to call for a more thorough evaluation of commonly used measures of self-control. The isometric handgrip task is one such measure. The current study examined correlates of handgrip persistence using data drawn from a larger

Toward a greater understanding of the brain processes underlying handgrip and handgrip fatigue
Handgrip is a ubiquitous human movement that determines how we interact with our environment. It is involved in almost every aspect of daily life (e.g. opening a door, handling cutlery, using tools) and like all human movement, its application is limited by muscle fatigue.

Neuromuscular Fatigue in Unimanual Handgrip Does Not Completely Affect Simultaneous Bimanual Handgrip [PDF]
Simultaneous bimanual movements are not merely the sum of two unimanual movements. Here, we considered the unimanual/bimanual motor system as comprising three components: unimanual-specific, bimanual-specific, and overlapping (mobilized during both unimanual and bimanual movements).
