The vast majority of people, even with a higher technical education, have a vague idea of ​​what impact force is and what it can depend on. Someone believes that the impact force is determined by momentum or energy, and someone - by pressure. Some confuse strong blows with blows that cause injury, while others believe that the force of the blow should be measured in units of pressure. Let's try to clarify this topic.

Impact force, like any other force, is measured in Newtons (N) and kilogram-forces (kgf). One Newton is the force due to which a body with a mass of 1 kg receives an acceleration of 1 m / s 2. One kgf is a force that imparts an acceleration of 1 g = 9.81 m / s 2 to a body weighing 1 kg (g is the acceleration of free fall). Therefore, 1 kgf \u003d 9.81 N. The weight of a body with mass m is determined by the force of attraction P, with which it presses on the support: P \u003d mg. If your body weight is 80 kg, then your weight, determined by gravity or attraction, P = 80 kgf. But in common parlance they say “my weight is 80 kg”, and everything is clear to everyone. Therefore, often they also say about the impact force that it is some kg, but kgf is meant.

The force of impact, unlike the force of gravity, is rather short-term in time. The shape of the shock pulse (during simple collisions) is bell-shaped and symmetrical. In the case of a person hitting a target, the shape of the pulse is not symmetrical - it increases sharply and falls relatively slowly and in waves. The total duration of the impulse is determined by the mass invested in the blow, and the rise time of the impulse is determined by the mass of the percussion limb. When we talk about impact force, we always mean not the average, but its maximum value in the process of impact.

Let's throw a glass not very hard at the wall so that it breaks. If it hits the carpet, it might not break. In order for it to break for sure, it is necessary to increase the force of the throw in order to increase the speed of the glass. In the case of the wall, the blow turned out to be stronger, since the wall is harder, and therefore the glass broke. As we can see, the force acting on the glass turned out to depend not only on the strength of your throw, but also on the rigidity of the place where the glass hit.

So is a man's blow. We only throw our hand and the part of the body involved in the strike at the target. As studies have shown (see "Physico-mathematical model of impact"), the part of the body involved in the impact has little effect on the force of the impact, since its speed is very low, although this mass is significant (reaches half the body mass). But the impact force was proportional to this mass. The conclusion is simple: the impact force depends on the mass involved in the impact, only indirectly, since it is with the help of just this mass that our impact limb (arm or leg) is accelerated to maximum speeds. Also, do not forget that the momentum and energy imparted to the target upon impact is mainly (by 50–70%) determined by just this mass.

Let's get back to punching power. The impact force (F) ultimately depends on the mass (m), dimensions (S) and speed (v) of the striking limb, as well as on the mass (M) and stiffness (K) of the target. The basic formula for the impact force on an elastic target is:

It can be seen from the formula that the lighter the target (bag), the lower the impact force. For a 20 kg bag, compared to a 100 kg bag, the impact force is reduced by only 10%. But for bags of 6–8 kg, the impact force already drops by 25–30%. It is clear that by hitting the balloon, we will not get any significant value at all.

You will have to basically take the following information on faith.

1. A straight punch is not the strongest of punches, although it requires good technique and especially a sense of distance. Although there are athletes who do not know how to hit the side, but, as a rule, their direct hit is very strong.

2. An elbow strike is only slightly stronger than a direct strike. And with apparent simplicity, it requires its own technique and skill (otherwise it will be weaker than direct). Its destructiveness lies in the rigidity of the entire shock structure and surface. Striking a soft bag with an elbow or knee, we will not get significant indications of strength, but in battle the same blows to a hard target will be significant in strength (and especially in pressure), which can lead to significant injuries.

3. The force of a side impact due to the speed of the striking limb is always higher than that of a direct impact. Moreover, with a delivered blow, this difference reaches 30-50%. Therefore, side punches are usually the most knockout.

4. A backhand kick (such as a backfist with a turn) is the easiest in terms of execution technique and does not require good physical training, practically the strongest among punches, especially if the striker is in good physical shape. You just need to understand that its strength is determined by a large contact surface, which is easily achievable on a soft bag, and in real fight for the same reason, when hitting a hard complex surface, the contact area is greatly reduced, the impact force drops sharply, and it turns out to be ineffective. Therefore, in combat, it still requires high accuracy, which is not at all easy to implement.

5. A kick loses a little to a side kick in speed, but still stronger due to the mass and especially the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe percussion limb.

Once again, we emphasize that the blows are considered from a position of strength, moreover, on a soft and large bag, and not on the amount of damage inflicted.

Projectile Gloves reduce hits by 3-7%.

Gloves used for competition attenuate impacts by 15-25%.

For reference, the results of measurements of the strength of delivered strikes should be as follows:

Saveliev V.N., 01/15/09, 04/02/09, 12/25/15

People have always wanted to be famous, popular and recognized. Someone achieves this through acting, others through the talent to earn money.

But there are those who have the physical ability to do incredible things that are impossible or very difficult to repeat. They set all sorts of records that glorify their skills throughout the world.

The Guinness Book of Records collects and records such achievements throughout the planet Earth, bringing considerable pleasure to its readers. But many do not like the fact that there are such records that cannot be attributed to competitive or sports - they are just crazy or meaningless so that no one even wants to repeat them.

Also, the Guinness Book of Records does not record the force of impact in a particular sport. Often this is due to the impossibility of instantly determining the force of impact, as this forces a bunch of sensors to be connected, which can be dangerous to the life of an athlete during a fight.

But do not be upset, in this article you can find answers to such questions and understand who has the most swipe in history.

hard to judge

As already mentioned, it is very difficult to determine the force of impact. For example, in football it is impossible to run all the time with a football player and measure the speed of the ball, or in boxing it is impossible to stand in the ring with athletes and record the power of each strike.

But sports fans, as well as experts and observers, often make their own ratings in which they note the achievements in strength of certain athletes.

Answering the question of who has the strongest blow, it is impossible to give an unambiguous answer, since strength depends on many factors. An important point is which limb was struck and under what circumstances.

In addition, an important point is the ratio of the weight of the athlete to the force of his blow. Of course, the ejected mass and impact velocity affect the outgoing force. But it often happens when an athlete weighs 50 kg less, and his impact force approaches heavyweights over 120 kilograms.

Who owns the strongest punch?

There are many varieties of martial arts in the world where they teach to hit hard. But, in order to measure the force of impact during a fight, you must have special equipment. In this matter, only boxing and kickboxing are progressing.

Boxers have always been considered athletes who can deliver powerful punches. The most famous representative of the boxing world is Mike Tyson, whom absolutely everyone knows, despite the fact that he ended his professional career a long time ago.

Powerful Mike

It was believed that he has the strongest hand punch. On many rides where you need to hit a special bag to test the force of the blow, there is a photo of Mike. It is written on them that the force of his hand strike is 800 kg.

Such an indicator is truly outstanding, and we can say that he has the strongest punch in boxing. Considering the fact that to knock out another person it is enough to have a blow with a force of about 15 kilograms, but you need to hit the jaw clearly with a sharp throw of the arm along a circular trajectory - this is really amazing power.

David Tua

Answering the question of who has the strongest punch in boxing, many people name David Tua, a Samoan boxer. Experts believe that with his left hand he struck with a power of 1024 kilograms.

You will not envy his rivals. If today he was in the same shape as in his best years, then perhaps he would be a good opponent for Wladimir Klitschko, otherwise he comes across weak opponents too often.

Who owns the strongest kick?

No less worried about the issue of incredibly strong kicks. Initially, it was believed that only karate and taekwondo fighters become the owners of such blows with the lower limbs.

But in Lately, thanks to mixed tournaments, muay thai and fights without rules were added to martial arts in which they kick the most.

From time to time, various TV shows are shown with popular fighters in which they compare the strength of their punches. But the results of such experiments are often subjective. After all, each of them has his own technique of performance, and this greatly affects the outgoing power.

So, for example, a kick performed by a heavy league fighter of mixed style Mirko Cro Cop reaches a power of 2703 kg! Let's compare the strength of this strike with the capabilities of Mike Zambidis, who, with a weight of 70 kilograms, manages to hit with his right foot with a force of 1870 kg.

Of course, it is not clear how and where the strength of the blows of the fighters is measured, but it is difficult to deny that it is better not to pester them in a dark alley.

Elbow and knee strikes

Muay Thai style fighters are considered to be true masters of striking with knees and elbows. In competitions, very often with such blows they literally cut the opponent's skin.

Because of this, it is very often possible to observe a bloody spectacle, and not a duel. Some people like it, and some don't. Of course, because of the smaller leverage, the blow is more powerful.

But can everything be measured in kilograms per square centimeter? Impact strength is a relative indicator that must be matched with efficiency. Thais prove that with a weight of 40-50 kilograms it is possible to inflict such blows that are capable of knocking out the enemy the first time.

What have the players been able to do

Football bears the title of the game of millions. Indeed, watching football matches millions of viewers gather, not to mention tens of thousands of fans on the football fields.

Football is the most popular game. Football players must have a strong and accurate kick on the ball in order to score a goal.

And in this field very often football experts, journalists note players who inflict simply incredible blows.

To date, the Brazilian midfielder Zhivanildo Vieira de Souza is the holder of the title "The strongest kick of a football player". He is known to everyone as the Hulk.

Incredibly, while playing against the Shakhtar-Donetsk team, he was able to score a goal with a ball that flew into the net at a speed of 214 km/h. The goalkeeper, of course, could not do anything.

For example, the legendary football player Roberto Carlos, who was also at one time a football player of the national team from Brazil, was able to hit the ball at a speed of 198 kilometers per hour. Since then, he has long been considered the player with the most powerful shot in the history of football.

Of course, such records of football players are not included in the Guinness Book of Records, but it is simply impossible not to talk about them.

Conclusion

New records are set every day in the world. Thanks to Guinness for coming up with a great way to keep people informed about someone's interesting accomplishments.

Not all records of people can be entered in one book. Such a nomination as the strongest blow cannot be found there. But for this there are sports experts who somehow manage to record more and more champion records. And although such figures can be criticized and doubted in their correctness, they make one think about the physical capabilities of a person.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the people who have set and continue to set such records. And it doesn't matter if you have the strongest punch or can jump the highest - you will always inspire people to overcome impassable obstacles and become better.

Among athletes of various sports, it is very difficult to determine who has the strongest hit in the world due to the lack of a complete system.

Experts, reviewers and just fans are accustomed to creating a wide variety of ratings. Currently, neither in the world of martial arts, nor in other sports, there is a universal approach to fixing the force of a blow.

The subjective opinion of judges, observers and opponents of fights is used as an evaluation criterion. Come to a consensus about the owner of the most powerful blow difficult due to the presence of a large number of influencing criteria: height, weight, distance, impact position and other indicators important for the result.

Grading system

Boxing is the only type of professional martial arts that uses a system for assessing the impact force. During the match, the boxers are monitored by the CompuBox program.

The system records and evaluates the strikes, displaying their statistics and speed. The strike of each fighter is unique, and it is very difficult to compare the strength, given the weight, height, position.

But to evaluate and standardize the results at the international level, the psi unit (1 psi) is used, or the power is estimated in kg. The strength of the male impact is estimated in the range of 200-1000 kg. A value of 200 kg is a good indicator for a boxer weighing less than 70 kg. The upper figure refers to heavyweight athletes.

In boxing, hand movements are divided into jerky and sharp. From the hand, the most effective and powerful is "Cross" (translated as "Cross"). It applies directly. The athlete's body is tilted back, the dominant hand swings over the opponent's glove. The visual crossing of the hands of rivals gave it its name.

World record

Mike Tyson is the most famous boxer. The only result in the history of world martial arts that got into the Guinness Book of Records - a punch, belongs to him and is 800 kg.

Mike Tyson is a legendary athlete who has set many records. The boxer's career began rapidly. He won his first title at the age of 20, having received the title of the youngest heavyweight champion.

He confirmed his title a year later, having received the title of absolute champion in his weight and reaching a new record. Throughout his stellar career, Iron Mike has repeatedly shocked the world community with his eccentric antics and phenomenal achievements. Opponents evaluate the blow of a boxer with the power of a ram with a sports Ferrari. Such power can not only knock out an opponent, but also lead to death.

Kicks among wrestlers

The strongest kicks belong to athletes of mixed martial arts (MMA), karateka, muay thai fighters and taekwondo fighters.

Most known result showed Croatian Mirko Krokop. The power of his left leg was 2703 kg and is called the "Mavashi kick".

His technique is simple but effective: the leg bent at the knee is carried out through the side (the lower leg and knee should be parallel to the floor), it unbends and the instep of the foot hits the opponent.

Football records

Strikes are the main technique not only for the world of martial arts, but also for football. The most powerful kick from the foot at the moment is considered to be a Brazilian free kick nicknamed the Hulk (the name of Givanildo Vieira de Souza) from a distance of 34 m. The speed of the ball was 214 km/h.

The second most powerful result belongs to Lukas Podolski. In 2010, the German hit the ball at a speed of 201 km/h. The impact distance was only 16 m.

For a long time, Roberto Carlos da Silva Rocha remained the absolute record holder in terms of impact force, the maximum flight speed of his ball was 198 km / h. He set the punching power record several times during his career, each time improving the result.

New stars appear among athletes every day, records are achieved, results are updated. The strength of a human impact is difficult to measure, and even more difficult to compare with the results of other athletes.

Each achievement is unique depending on the parameters of the athlete and the situation in the gaming arena, so it is almost an impossible task to single out one single owner of the strongest blow in the world.

It is very difficult to focus on specific figures in kilograms or newtons when talking about the impact force. There are two significant reasons for this:

• The punching power of all the famous boxers has never been measured by anyone. And more important here is not so much the strength itself, but the magnitude of the knockout component.
• All blows are divided into two categories: jerky and sharp. The power indicator of both types of blows can be the same, but their very essence can differ significantly.

More specifically, the impact force of a man is approximately between 200 and 1000 kg. At the same time, the blow force of a boxer weighing 60-70 kg reaches 200 kg, and the blow of a heavyweight boxer can reach 1000 kg. It becomes quite interesting that having an impact force of 15 kg or 150 Newtons) and striking in the chin area, it is already possible to “knock out” an opponent.

However, although there is no special dynamometer that measures the strength of all boxers, there is still an opinion that Mike Tyson has the strongest punch. The force of this blow is approximately 800 kg. A blow of such force can kill a person, and not just knock him out. But even blows with less force can lead to quite serious consequences.

Speaking of Mike Tyson, we should also remember his other records. At 20, he became the youngest world heavyweight champion. And a year later he became the youngest world champion among heavyweight boxers. he is also the boxer who achieved these titles in the shortest period of time.

Taken from the Guinness Book of Records.

The strength of the blow largely determines the outcome of the fight. There is no such person who would not know the name of Mike Tyson, the famous boxer. His punches knocked out one opponent after another for a long time.

Mike Tyson is considered one of the best boxers in the world, having won most of his fights during his professional and amateur career by knocking out his opponents. That is why many people are very interested in the strength of Mike Tyson's kick in kg.

What is impact force?

All fighting characteristics can be conditionally divided into three fundamental indicators: strength, speed and technique.

Such a concept as "strike force" is familiar to many. However, not everyone can give the correct interpretation of this term.

This, in essence, is the rate of increase in strength, i.e. the mass of the fighter's body multiplied by the acceleration.

Unit of impact force

The unit of measurement is not kg at all, but psi - an off-system unit of pressure measurement, numerically equal to 6894.75729 Pa. Psi is pound-force per square inch. This unit of measurement is most often used in foreign countries, mainly in the USA.

It is worth saying that in some countries (for example, in Iran), instead of the term "psi", the name "pound" is used, which means "pound" in English. This replacement of terminology is considered incorrect.

Since the impact force is not measured with absolute accuracy, the indicator obtained during the study may have a small error.

Mike Tyson - who is this?

Mike Tyson is an American professional boxer nicknamed "Iron Mike". For thirty years, namely from 1985 to 2005, he performed in heavy weight class. Throughout his career, Mike Tyson had 58 fights, 50 of which ended in victory.

In addition, Mike Tyson had 60 fights as an amateur. Only six of them ended in the defeat of the famous athlete.

He is the founder of his own promotional company. In addition, Mike Tyson took part in the filming of two documentaries, writing the script for the autobiographical film "Tyson" in 1994. In 2016, the titled athlete starred in one of the main roles in the film Ip Man 3.

Sports achievements of Mike Tyson

In addition to the fact that Mike Tyson won most of his fights, he has many titles and titles. The athlete twice became the champion of the Youth Olympic tournaments in 1981 and 1982, respectively.

In addition, Mike Tyson is the silver medalist of the 1983 Golden Gloves tournament, the owner of two gold medals in the nineteenth and twentieth national championships in 1983 and 1984.

In 1984, the athlete became the champion of the Golden Gloves tournament in the heavy weight category. In the same year, Mike Tyson became the winner of the Tournament of Champions.

Tyson is heavyweight.

Mike Tyson punching power

The blow of a famous athlete is so strong that it can kill a person. The impact force of Mike Tyson is measured to be about 800 kg or 1800 psi. Thanks to his incredible strength, Mike Tyson has knocked out 44 fights out of a possible 58 throughout his career.

The biggest impact force

Tyson is not the only athlete who can deliver a devastating blow. There are other athletes whose impact strength is a record. The most powerful blow in the history of the existence of such a sport as boxing is considered to be the blow of Ernie Shavers. Its impact rating is approximately 1900 psi.

The oldest heavyweight champion George Foreman has the same punching power. 1500 psi - this is exactly the indicator for the impact of Max Baer. There is even a legend according to which the athlete knocked out the bull twice. By the way, he is an absolutely invincible athlete. Most of the victories were won by the boxer by knockouts.

In 1930, Max Baer delivered a fatal blow to his opponent, Ernie Schaaf, during a boxing match. And six months later, the blow of the famous athlete led to the fact that the opponent had a stroke during the fight, which led to death.

The blow force equal to 1800 psi, had the famous boxer Joe Frazier. It was he who first knocked out heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali. The athlete knocked out opponents for a long time, despite the existing defect - a cataract in his left eye.

The incredible force of Joe Frauser's blow is explained by the fact that the bones of the left hand did not grow together properly after the fracture, due to which the geometry of the athlete's upper limb was violated. The boxer's hand practically did not unbend. This contributed to the application of devastating blows in their strength.

Many boxing fans consider the Samoan boxer to be the owner of the largest punching power. Experts are sure that the athlete could strike with a power of 1024 kg with his left hand.

It is worth noting that the above athletes had not only incredible punching power, but also a good technique for its execution, thanks to which boxers won fights and earned their titles.

How to increase punching power

If desired, the impact force can be increased. To do this, it is necessary that the body weight of a person become larger, since the indicator of strength directly depends on the weight of the athlete. In addition, in order to make the fist look like a hammer, some young men specially stuff the surface of the fist, knocking down the knuckles.

In addition, professional athletes and experts recommend using an open palm during a strike rather than a stuffed one due to the fact that the second method of striking is not only more traumatic, but also extinguishes about one-fourth of the possible impact force.

It should be borne in mind that in addition to weight, the impact technique used and the accuracy of its execution affect the strength indicator. That is why, in order to increase strength, it is necessary not only to promote the growth of the athlete's body weight, but also to constantly improve the technique of impact.

It is recommended to do push-ups on the palms of a narrow setting. You need to put your palms so that between them you get a space in the shape of a triangle. In addition, the person's palms should be parallel to the chin.

To increase the force of impact, an exercise such as push-ups on fists with a narrow setting is ideal. In this way, the side impact force can be increased.

Jumping rope and sports with dumbbells will also help to increase the impact force. It is worth noting that the jump rope will not only help increase the strength indicator, but will also help improve the general physical condition of a person.

You need to understand that the outcome of the battle and success depend not only on the strength of the blow, but also on its execution technique. If an athlete, being the owner, cannot win victories for a long time, then you need to reconsider the technique of hitting or hone your skills.

Conclusion

The impact force is one of the main indicators characterizing the physical capabilities of an athlete involved in boxing. The absolute world boxing champion Mike Tyson is currently considered the owner of the most powerful blow (strike force - 800 kg).

His blows were so "deadly" that most of the athletes who were Mike's rivals were knocked out in the first 4 rounds. Mike Tyson's impact force (in kg) is one of the most powerful indicators. Since this indicator is not measured with absolute accuracy, the study indicators may have minor errors.
