A hook in boxing primarily involves horizontal flexion of the shoulder while maintaining a constant angle at the elbow. During this punch, the horizontal flexor muscles of the shoulder contract and shorten at an average speed of 75 cm/s. They move through an arc length of 5 cm during the hook, while the fist moves through an arc length of 100 cm. What is the average speed of the fist during the hook

average speed of the fist during the hook = 15 m/s or 1500 cm/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Speed of shoulder contraction, v_s = 75 cm/s = 0.75 m/s

Distance moved through the arc length by shoulder, d_s = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Distance moved by the fist, d_f = 100 cm = 1 m

Now, we are to find the average speed of the fist during the hook; v_f

Thus can be gotten from proportion;.

d_f/d_s = v_f/ v_s

Making V_f the subject, we have;

v_f = (d_f × v_s)/d_s

Thus;

v_f = (1 × 0.75)/0.05

v_f = 0.75/0.05

v_f = 15 m/s
