  • 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.

  • Start a Premium Handcrafted English Willow Cricket Bat Manufacturing
    Y-1743 www.entrepreneurindia.co www.niir.org INTRODUCTION A cricket bat is a modified piece of equipment that batsmen use to strike the ball in the sport of cricket. It usually consists of a cane handle connected to a flat-fronted willow-wood blade. A batter who is making their ground will do it to prevent being run out if they keep the bat and hit the ground with it. The bat must be no longer than 38 inches (965 mm) in length and no wider than 4.25 inches in width (108 mm). The first time it was seen was in 1624. Since 1979, a law has required bats to be made entirely of wood. www.entrepreneurindia.co www.niir.org MANUFACTURING OF ENGLISH WILLOW CRICKET BATS Willow wood and cane are used to make the cricket bat. The handle of the bat is made of cane, and the blade of the bat is made of willow. Willow wood has properties that allow it to absorb shock. When the ball is struck hard and quick, it is difficult to bat. The shock is absorbed by the willow tree. The production of cricket bats goes through many stages in order to produce the highest quality bats. Various steps in the production process are included, from planting willow trees to playing cricket on the field. Kashmir willow and English willow are the two major bat-making woods in India. www.entrepreneurindia.co www.niir.org Step 1:- Plating willow trees and cane: Wood is the most popular raw material used in the production of cricket bats.
