Figure 3. — Representative examples of characteristic head impact profiles for a single male athlete participating in a competitive boxing match versus a competitive MMA match. In general, boxers experienced a majority of impacts to the front region of the head, whereas MMA impacts were more distributed across impact zones during competitions. Arrows are color coded on a continuous scale based on the PLA value of each impact: green to red, 10g to 66g. MMA, mixed martial arts; PLA, peak linear acceleration.
