Streszczenie
A lot of assault striking motion action bring about the problem of determining and calculating possible hitting strength applied to the assault of the adversary. This paper presents mathematical formulas for the prediction of hitting power depending on several initial parameters. One of biomechanical factors of vital importance is the impact velocity of the arm on the adversary’s body. There are no relevant data available so far. Our has been to determine different impact velocity experimentally in a sample of average male population. Precise measuring has show local impact velocities in the final 10 cm section of the trajectory before the impact. These data are presented in easy-to follow tables. The value of impact velocity provides information on the value of the strength of the impact.
