Measuring Forces among the hand during resistance training

[Tamara L. Payn]

Dear Colleagues,
I am looking for instrumentation (pressure or load sensors) that will
be able to accurately measure contact forces between the hand and bar
during a resistance exercise (for example the lat pull down). If
anybody has experience with these measurements, or can recommend
vendors, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you know of data in
the literature on such forces, I would appreciate the citation.


Sincerely,

Tamara Payn
