The punch starts from her legs, as it should. She twists her right leg and pushes it against the ground, which brings more force into her punch.
Superhuman strength put aside, the way she throws the hook puts a lot of energy into it.

Notice how she also twists the rest of her body into the punch. Her hips swivel to the left in a quick motion, and by the time she lands the punch, her upper body is facing towards us, whereas she was facing away before throwing the punch.
Below, you can see the exact same punch thrown by Former UFC Champ Tyron Woodley. This is a great image to compare with for several reasons. For one, Sakura and Tyron are both orthodox fighters, meaning they stand with their left side forward.

Sakura and Tyron are both also punching with their right hand. Not only that, but they are throwing the same type of punch. The overhand right is characterized by dropping your head to the left, while throwing your right hand over your head to strike your opponent.
The overhand is also notorious for the amount of power it generates. In fact, the image of Tyron Woodley above was the punch that knocked out the-Champion Robbie Lawler, to win Woodley the Championship.
The most interesting thing about fight scenes in Naruto is how insanely accurate they can be, the prime example being Sakura’s punch and Woodley’s punch.
Although Woodley’s punch is from a different angle, you can clearly see that his hips and upper body twist to his left, the same way that Sakura does.
If you compare the two images for yourself, you’ll see that the Naruto animators put a lot of effort into making fights seem realistic. Most of the fights scenes in Naruto feature some good boxing moves.
