Determination of Selected Punch Parameters for Professional Boxers Determination of selected punch parameters for professional boxers Birken L1, Morlock M1, Gross E2, Weltin U2 Biomechanics Section1, Mechanics Section2, Technical University Hamburg-Harburg Denickestrasse 15, 21073 Hamburg, Germany, www.tu-harburg.de/bim Introduction The effects of single or serial box punches are the topic of many publications, discussing anatomic, neurophysiologic and psychologic changes. Little, however, is known about mechanical parameters such as force, impact and acceleration during a single punch. The aim of this study was to determine mechanical parameters during the punch of professional boxers to estimate the traumatic potential. Materials and Methods The study was divided into two parts: (a) An experimental investigation of punches of two professional boxers (Vitalij and Wladimir Klitschko); the boxers performed single punches, using a boxing glove with an attached acceleration sensor and a standard punch bag (21kg) instrumented with an acceleration sensor (Figure 1). Figure 1: Experimental setup in the boxing gym. Left: The position of the 2 acceleration sensors is indicated. Right: Boxing punch of Vitalij Klitschko (instant after contact with the punch bag). (b) Experimental reproduction of punches in the laboratory with a pendulum impacting the same punch bag. A filled boxglove was accelerated at the end of a pendulum (6kg, ~ weight of the human arm and hand) to velocities as determined in part (a). A force sensor was mounted between the boxing glove and the pendulum. Additionally, tests with increased elasticity and increased mass of the punch bag were performed. Results The maximum velocity of the hand, derived from the measured acceleration was about 9.5m/s for either boxer (Fig. 3, 4). Acceleration of the hand was positive until contact with the bag attaining a maximum deceleration of 1420 re. 853m/s² for Vitalij / Wladimir. Contact time between bag and hand was about 20ms. The bag was accelerated to a velocity of 3.30 / 3.45m/s for Vitalij / Wladimir; maximum bag acceleration was 372 / 396m/s². The transmitted impulse was 196 / 203Ns. Reproduction of the punch in the laboratory showed a maximum force in the "wrist" of 5315 / 5545N. Force sensor Figure 2: Experimental setup in the laboratory.

Left: Accelerations of hand and punching bag. Right: Velocities of hand and punching bag. Increased elasticity of the contact area during experimental reproduction resulted in increased bag acceleration and velocity (+15%), the maximum wrist force decreased (-20%). Increased punch bag mass (+50%) resulted in decreased bag velocity and acceleration (-54%) and increased wrist force (+20%). Discussion The high observed forces indicate that a mechanical support of the wrist, as supplied by a boxing glove and especially the taping is required. The values recorded are comparable to values available in the literature (Atha et al., 1985). The small difference in the results between the normal punchbag and the bag with elastic contact zone showed, that the hit elasticity is mainly influenced by viscoelastic deformation of the glove. Assuming that the human head is more elastic than the punchbag and has a lower mass (~7kg), the increase in acceleration is about 80% when compared to a punch against the bag, yielding accelerations around 600m/s² (corresponding to forces around 3500N). In automotive accident research, these levels are seen as critical, even if only occuring for contact times of 20ms. References Atha, J., Yeadon, M.R., Sandover, J. and Parsons, K.C.

  • Punching Impact Effect of the Karate, Boxing, and the Thumbless Boxing Glove
    PUNCHING IMPACT EFFECT OF THE KARATE, BOXING, AND THE THUMBLESS BOXING GLOVE Paul K. SMITH Department of Physical Education Hun~ Performance Research Laboratory West Chester University West Chester, Pennsylvania 19383 Only limited information is available relative to the impact characteristics of the foam karate glove, the conventional boxing glove, or the recently developed thurnbless boxing glove. It was therefore the main problem in this investigation to determine the COllparative effects on fist velocity and resultant manenturn of a heavy bag when punched by low, intennediate, and high skill level subjects wearing 1) no glove, 2) the foarr. karate glove, 3) the conventional boxing glove, and 4) the thurnbless boxing slove. Considering the contact involved, intentional or otherY'ise, the injury rate is relatively law for karate and boxing when compared to other sports. Yet, serious injuries do occur. The karate injury rate is about 34% with 0.02% being serious and only four deaths have been reported. In boxing, 335 deaths were reported between 1945 and 1979 and considerable negative publicity regarding brain d~age from repeated head impact has emersed recently. Forces sufficient to cause accelerations of 80 g (784 N at about 8 ms contact tirre) have been established as the concussive or knockout level according to the Wayne State Tolerance Curve. Comparable forces applied to the body can cCluse rurtures, contusions, and other injury to organs of the trunk, depending on the impact site. N~~onian principles of momentum and energy conservation using High-Speed Cinenetography and Force­ T:ir.,e apparatus have been errployed by Several researchers to estimate force levels for various types of punches and strikes.

Inertial sensors are one technology being used for performance monitoring. Within combat sports, there is an emerging trend to use this type of technology; however, the use and selection of this technology for combat sports has not been reviewed. To address this gap, a systematic literature review for combat sport athlete performance analysis was conducted. A total of 36 records were included for review, demonstrating that inertial measurements were predominately used for measuring strike quality. The methodology for both selecting and implementing technology appeared ad-hoc, with no guidelines for appropriately analysing the results. This review summarises a framework of best practice for selecting and implementing inertial sensor technology for evaluating combat sport performance. It is envisaged that this review will act as a guide for future research into applying technology to combat sport. Keywords: combat sport; technology; inertial sensor; performance 1. Introduction In recent years, technological developments have resulted in the production of small, unobtrusive wearable inertial sensors.

    Nick Norwood 765 Davis Abilene, TX 79605 (915) 677-7862 The Boy’s Club My father was shot to death one night in November on the gravel parking lot of a bar outside Nocona, Texas. This was in 1970, when I was ten. The man who shot him was the husband of the woman my father had been seeing. The man went to prison, I guess, but to be honest it was not something we ever talked about. My mother was working as a ticket agent for Braniff at the little airport there in Wichita Falls and she had already written my father off several years before that, had resigned herself to the fact that she would have to raise my brother and me by herself. She rented us a tiny frame house on Hollandale Street, on what she considered to be the right side of Windthorst Road. It was just barely on the right side, the first street in that better neighborhood, and even then ours was the sorriest house on the block, its pale yellow paint peeling away from the wood siding, the front porch a four-by-four concrete pad mounted by two steps. That summer she left us home to take care of ourselves while she was at work. I was in charge since my brother, Timmy, was only seven. It didn’t take long to figure out this was going to be a boring arrangement. Eating pop tarts in front of the television, staring at the walls. One day Jackie and Troy, two friends of mine from down the block, asked me to go with them to the Boy’s Club.
