The punch with the greatest impact was the boxing straight punch with 4800 ± 601 Newtons (N) in male fighters and the boxing jab with 1170.7 ± 165.3 N in female fighters. The kick with the greatest impact in taekwondo (TKD) was tui tchagui with 2490.3 ± 846.2 N in females and TKD bandal tchagui with 6400 ± 898 N in males.
