Dominant hand maximal handgrip strength with a handgrip dynamometer and peak power with a force plate, adjusted for body size and composition were compared in 5- to 13-yr-old African-American children with and without type SS sickle cell disease (SCD-SS). Children with SCD-SS (n = 35, 9.0 ± 2.0 yrs) compared to healthy controls (n = 103, 8.6 ± 1.8 yrs) did not differ by age, gender, or pubertal status, yet had significantly lower Z scores for height, weight, body mass index, upper arm muscle area, upper arm fat area, fat and lean mass-for-height. Children with SCD-SS had significantly lower handgrip strength (12.7 ± 3.3 vs. 15.2 ± 5.1 kg, P < 0.008), peak power (882 ± 298 vs. 1167 ± 384 W, P < 0.001) and growth and body composition adjusted Z scores for handgrip strength (0.6 ± 1.3 standard deviations, P < 0.004) and peak power (males = 1.0 ± 0.8, P < 0.0002; females = 1.0 ± 1.7, P < 0.006). Maximal muscle strength and peak power are attenuated in children with SCD-SS compared to controls beyond expectation for growth and body composition deficits suggesting additional factors contribute to the attenuation in anaerobic performance.
