Summary
In circadian neurobiology, grip strength measurement can be a useful tool to determine the state of an individual's body clock. If there is a significant drop in grip strength during nighttime hours, it's best to skip the gym as the body is still in a fatigued state, and the workout may not be as beneficial.
