Effort sound effects, the grunts and strains a body makes when it's working hard. Throwing a punch, taking one. Male and female voices across a wide range of ages, from breathy little exertions to full battle shouts, plus pain and stumbles. Some are gritty and real. Some are pitched for anime and games.

Efforts are what make a character feel like they have a body. In a fight, an effort on the swing and a hit of Pain on the other end sell the blow better than the punch alone. The bigger sets give you lots of takes per action from several actors, male and Female. A quiet Grunt as someone sits down or lifts a box does a surprising amount too. In a game every jump and swing needs one, and the same grunt over and over gives the game away, so variety matters more than anything.
