    This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the presence or absence of the musculus palmaris longus (PL) on grip strength and performance in arm wrestling athletes. A total of 31 licensed arm wrestlers (7 females and 24 males) who actively trained in various sports clubs in Diyarbakır voluntarily participated in the study (mean age: 21.87 ± 5.77 years; mean body weight: 78.55 ± 16.21 kg; mean height: 177.45 ± 8.21 cm). The PL muscle was present bilaterally in 15 athletes and absent bilaterally in 14 athletes. One athlete lacked the PL muscle in the right arm but had it on the left, while another had it on the right but not on the left. After recording demographic data, body weight was measured using InBody 570, and height was measured using Mesilife JSA 180. The presence of the PL muscle was determined by Schaeffer's test and ultrasonography (USG). Hand grip strength was measured using an electronic hand dynamometer (EH 108). Descriptive statistical analyses revealed that athletes with a right PL muscle visible on USG had greater grip strength, and male athletes exhibited significantly higher grip strength than females. Independent sample t-test results showed significant differences in grip strength between athletes with and without the PL muscle for both right and left hands. Correlation analysis indicated statistically significant relationships between body weight and USG right/left, Schaeffer's right/left and grip strength right/left, while no significant correlations were found with arm length, height, or competition degree. In conclusion, the presence or absence of the palmaris longus muscle did not have a statistically significant effect on performance in arm wrestling athletes.
