Upper Limb Strikes Reactive Forces in Mix Martial Art Athletes during Ground and Pound Tactics
Original language description
Athletes of mixed martial arts use a ground and pound strategy with the strikes in the dominant ground position. The aim of this study was to compare the average peak force (F-peak) among three punches and to estimate the probability of achieving a skull bone fracture force of 5.1 kN for each type of strike in male and female athletes. A total of 60 males and 31 females (26 +/- 8 years, 75 +/- 20 kg, 177 +/- 11 cm) practicing professional self-defense at the advanced and professional levels performed 15 strikes on a force plate. The analyses of 1360 trials showed significant differences among the strikes F-peak in females (p < 0.01) and males (p < 0.01). Straight punches had lower F-peak than palm strikes and elbow strikes in both genders, and palm strikes had higher F-peak than elbow strikes in females. No difference was observed between palm strikes and elbow strikes in males (p = 0.09). The ground and pound strikes resulted in higher impacts than previously reported strikes in the standing position. Male athletes can deliver a F-peak above 5.1 kN with a probability of 36% with elbow and palm strikes. Such forces can cause head injury; therefore, the use of these strikes in competition should be carefully considered.
