Analysing the punching force in kickboxing

The goal of achieving good results in kickboxing leads to an urgent need to design a rational, scietifically justified sed and effective training system to develop the pnching force. Many sports reserachers describe the ways to develop the punching force in various martial arts, and almost every reference author presents evidence and indicators showing that the muscles of the legs and torso play a significant role in improving the punching force. Therefore, by using the elastic deformation of torso and shoulder muscles in punching movement correctly, one may significantly enhance the efficiency of the punch. Thus, the effectiveness of a kickboxer’s punch is largely determined by the optimal contribution of the rotational-translational movement of his or her torso and legs. This study is devoted to training in kickboxing, namely, to the methods of developing the punching force in kickboxing. The study is aimed at identifying and justifying the effectiveness of training methods used to develop the punching force of kickboxers...
