Data are expressed as mean (standard deviation) of the different intensities (i.e., different grip widths). Applied force: kilograms for the peak and mean values obtained during the 15 repetitions at the different intensities; heart rate: beats per minute at just end of the 15 repetitions at the different intensities.* Very significant differences (p ≤ 0.001) with medium and low intensities.** Very significant differences (p ≤ 0.001) with low intensities.† Significant differences (p < 0.05) with low intensities.
