The Effect of Ice Water On the Dominant Hand Grip Strengths of Males 16-18 Years of Age Introduction This experiment is aimed at investigating the effects of exposure to cold water on the force of one?s grip. For one to grip at their highest possible strength, the perfect conditions need to be in order. When this order is disrupted, and one?s hand temperature is critically lower than normal, the hand cannot perform its duty as intended. That is the basis behind this experiment, but why is this hap- pening to the body? What causes the hand to behave in such a manner? The cold effects the blood flow through vasoconstriction, which is the contacting of the veins and arteries, making it harder for blood
