Dataset for Kinetic assessment of straight punch strike techniques: rear cross and lead jab by boxers
- 1. Institute of Physical Culture Sciences, Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa, Poland
Description
General Description:
This dataset offers a detailed look at the biomechanics of boxing punches, specifically the jab and rear cross, by capturing the acceleration of different parts of the arm and the force generated during these movements. The integration of IMU and force plate data provides a rich source of information for analyzing the efficiency, power, and technique of athletes, offering valuable insights for coaches, researchers, and athletes in the field of sports science and physical culture.
This dataset comprises a collection of Excel files containing measurements of right hand pads from various participants. Each file is named to reflect the participant's identifier followed by the specific measurement context (e.g., "participant1_right hand pad.xlsx"). The original dataset included participant surnames, but these have been replaced with unique numerical identifiers (e.g., "participant1", "participant2", etc.) to ensure anonymity. The dataset is intended for use in physical culture and sports science research, providing valuable data for studies on hand measurements and their implications in sports and physical activities.
File Naming Convention:
Files within this dataset follow a standardized naming convention: <identifier>_<measurement context>.xlsx
. The <identifier>
is a unique numerical identifier assigned to each participant (e.g., "participant1"), and <measurement context>
describes the specific measurement focus of the file (e.g., "right hand pad").
Column Descriptions:
-
Time: The timestamp or duration associated with each measurement session, indicating when each set of measurements was taken, typically essential for analyzing movement or force over time.
-
1x, 1y, 1z: Acceleration data (in milli-g) for the IMU placed on the fist. These columns capture the three-dimensional acceleration of the fist during boxing techniques, with 'x', 'y', and 'z' representing the acceleration along the horizontal, vertical, and depth axes, respectively. This data is crucial for understanding the speed and direction of the punch.
-
2x, 2y, 2z: Acceleration data (in milli-g) for the IMU on the forearm. Similar to the fist data, these columns provide insights into the forearm's movement dynamics during the execution of boxing techniques, offering a comprehensive view of the arm's acceleration.
-
3x, 3y, 3z: Acceleration data (in milli-g) for the IMU placed on the upper arm. These measurements complement the fist and forearm data, providing a complete picture of the arm's acceleration and movement patterns during different boxing punches.
-
fx, fy, fz: Force measurements (in Newtons) from the force plate. These columns represent the force exerted in the x (horizontal), y (vertical), and z (depth or forward/backward) directions. Force plate data is essential for analyzing the power and effectiveness of boxing techniques, as well as the athlete's balance and stability during the punch execution.

Based on this code, data is saved in two folders. Original data capture (5 strikes in one measurement) and files after computing, to extract each event (strike) as separate file.
