Biomechanical analysis of some variables of the straight front punch in boxing and its relationship to the accuracy of performance
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study aims to identify some of the biomechanical factors that influence the accuracy of the jab in boxing, such as speed and power, with a focus on the correct execution of the punch through accuracy tests. The research sample consisted of thirty boxers, where motion capture, force plates, and high-speed cameras were used to analyze biomechanical variables such as punch speed, punch force, and ground reaction force. The results indicated that punch speed showed a strong correlation with accuracy, while punch force did not exhibit a strong correlation with accuracy, suggesting that force coordination did not play a significant role in achieving accuracy, unlike speed. These findings emphasize the importance of speed training to enhance the correlation with punch accuracy and improve the training process and skill development of boxers
