Dear Biomch-Listers,
A MS student in Physical Education at Blaise Pascal University is planning
to measure the impact force of some karate punch techniques. From his search
in different databases (PubMed, Herakles; keywords: biomechanics, karate,
martial arts), he only found a very few relevant references where impact
forces were measured in various fighting sports. Among these, was the
following:
J. Atha, M.R. Yeadon, J. Sandover and K. Pearson (1984). Measuring the
mechanical properties of a heavyweight's punch. J. of Sports Sciences (UK),
2(3): 188-189.
Unfortunately, this paper is only an abstract of a Sports Sciences
Conference, so measurement and computing methods are not fully described.
The very poor results of this bibliographic search lead me to ask you:
- Has the above study been fully described in some scientific article(s)? Or
can the authors contact me and give some more information?
- Does somebody know if other studies have already been done on the same
purpose in any fighting sport?
For those interested, I'll post a complete summary of the collected
references.
Many thanks in advance.
Philippe VASLIN (Ph.D.)
