PRELIMINARY KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF MAXIMUM ANGULAR VELOCITY IN RIGHT-HAND UPPERCUT PUNCH AMONG STUDENT BOXERS
Abstract
In this article, the maximum angular velocities of the body joints during the execution of the uppercut technique with the right hand of student boxers were studied in depth based on kinematic analysis. During the special motion analysis, the angular velocities of the joints participating in each impact component were determined using the Motion Analysis system. The results of the analysis showed that high angular velocities were recorded in the right shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle joints. In particular, the central role of the pelvis and torso movement in directing the impact force upward was determined, and the left hand was observed to actively participate in performing the protective task. The results obtained showed that intersegmental connectivity, lower body strength and core stability are decisive factors in increasing the impact efficiency. This study serves to develop highly effective training methods in the training of athletes, optimize technical movements biomechanically and increase the individual capabilities of the athlete to a high level.
