The aim of this study was to determine and compare maximal handgrip strength (HGS) of international and national level judo athletes. Eighteen international and 16 national level judo athletes voluntarily participated in this study. After anthropometric measurements, athletes performed the maximal isometric HGS test three times on each side with a 1-min interval between attempts. Independent sample T test was used to compare groups and Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the relationship between variables. Significance was set at p<0,05. There was significant difference in body mass, height, body mass index, right, left and sum relative maximal HGS between groups (p<0,05). No other significant difference was observed. As for correlations among variables, there were significant correlations between body mass and maximal HGS (p=0.00). Also, there were significant correlations between body mass index and maximal HGS (p=0,00). According to classificatory table, most of the athletes were classified as regular for right hand absolute and relative, left hand absolute and relative and sum absolute and relative maximal HGS. International-level judo athletes presented better maximal isometric HGS than national judo athletes given absolute power they produced while national judo athletes presented better results in relative HGS.
