Analysis Of Direct Punch Force In Professional Defence

This article is focused on presenting our research about direct punch force. Professional defence is very important part of our life and punches are basic technique in majority of martial arts. Our aim was to measure dependence of force on time. Then we found differences between genders and among groups of participants with different level of training. The analysis started with measuring of the force with help of strain gauge L6E-C3-300kg and then we continued with finding of the dependence of this force on time and on input parameters. For data analysis two pieces of software were used – Office Excel and MINITAB. Our goal was to prepare data for an artificial neural network.
