Measurements with 16 Judoka were done at the Yong In University in South Korea, with Dr. Eui-hwan Kim, president of the Asian Society of Sport Biomechanics.

The pliance-x system with glove sensor was used to record the finger forces during repeated attacks against a dummy. Experts are loading the little finger higher than the index finger during pulling and throwing. Regional analysis of pressure data in combination with synchronized video allow to assess the level of skills of the athletes.
