Abstract

The mechanical response characteristics of Hybrid III headform and mechanical neck to the left jab and left hook punches have been studied. The results demonstrate that the probability of receiving a concussive injury from a single punch of the types delivered in this study is quite low; however, the acceleration levels may be high enough to cause mild cerebral concussion in some instances.
