Abstract

Professional boxing is a high-intensity intermittent impact sport that requires a range of well-developed physical, technical and tactical skills and demanding training load. Successful performance is determined by a combination of energy production, force generation and transmission and strategic application of this force. Mobility, strength and fitness assessments are crucial for profiling a professional boxer. These assessments enable a detailed training programme when taking into account the time constraints of the training camp as well as lifestyle and training demands. Typically, professional boxers should undertake a short period of sprint interval training then an extensive period of high-intensity interval training to induce peripheral and central physiological adaptations aimed at improving aerobic capacity. Improving the strength of the hip extensors, especially the gluteal musculature, is important, as is development of trunk torque production. These should be complemented with exercises designed to improve shoulder, trunk and hip mobility.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • From one of the author's observations, moderate to large correlations (r = 0.60 - 0.70) were found between boxer's CMJ jump height and landmine punch throw velocity.

    “From one of the author's observations, moderate to large correlations (r = 0.60 - 0.70) were found between boxer's CMJ jump height and landmine punch throw velocity (35).”

  • From one of the author's observations, boxers will jump similar heights in a CMJ and squat-jump (SJ), which suggests poor eccentric utilisation in the lower body.

    “Further, from one of the author's observations, boxers will jump similar heights in a CMJ and squat-jump (SJ) (concentric-only jump), which suggests poor eccentric utilisation in the lower body (elastic utilisation ratio [EUR] = CMJ height ÷ SJ height) (35,50).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
