Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to profile the physiological characteristics of amateur boxers using a battery of tests designed to assess the physiological and physical demands required for performance.Fifteen junior amateur (age 14.9 ± 2.0 years; stature 164 ± 12 cm; body mass 50.9 ± 11.3 kg) and sixteen senior amateur boxers (n = 16; age 20.5 ± 4.0 years; stature 174 ± 9 cm; body mass 65.2 ± 10.7 kg) provided informed consent to participate in the study.Body composition, squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), 5-and 10 m sprint (5SP/10SP), press up (PU), right and left medicine-ball single-arm throws (MBR, MBL), repeated sprint test (RST) and Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 (YY) were performed.The likelihood (% chance) of between-group differences were assessed using a magnitude based approach, standardised-difference score (Cohen's d) and 90% confidence intervals [CI].Linear regression (r) was used to examine the association between variables.Results: Senior boxers outperformed (79 to 99% chance) junior counterparts in PU, YY, CMJ, SJ, 10SP, MBL and MBR tests (d ≥ 0.50 [-0.34 to 1.61]).There were very large (r 0.70) correlations between fat free mass, upper-and lower body lean mass and medicine ball throw distance.There were large correlations (r 0.50 to 0.69) between medicine ball throw distance and CMJ, SJ, PU, 5SP and 10SP.Conclusions: A simple and time-effective test battery was able to differentiate performance between junior and amateur boxers.These assessments could be useful when profiling junior and senior amateur boxers.

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?

  • Maximal strength is dictated by morphological mechanisms (CSA) and neural factors such as motor unit recruitment, synchronisation, and rate coding.

    “Nonetheless, maximal-strength is not only dictated by morphological mechanisms (i.e. CSA), but also neural factors such as motor unit recruitment, synchronisation and rate coding (44).”

    From The Role of Strength on Punch Impact Force in Boxing (2022) · cites this paper as [44]

    The Sprint Tests section (page unavailable) says cross-sectional area is related to force production, supporting the morphological part of the claim. The Sprint tests section mentions rapid neuromuscular activation, but our copy does not identify motor-unit recruitment, synchronisation or rate coding as determinants of maximal strength. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • A morphological increase in CSA is one of the main mechanisms underpinning maximal- and explosive-strength development.

    “Also, as there is considerable evidence to support that a morphological increase in CSA is one of the main mechanisms underpinning maximal- and explosive-strength development (44)”

    From The Role of Strength on Punch Impact Force in Boxing (2022) · cites this paper as [44]

    The Sprint Tests section says cross-sectional area is related to force production and suggests this could help explain senior boxers’ better sprint performance. It does not establish that an increase in CSA is a main mechanism of maximal- or explosive-strength development; the study compares junior and senior boxers rather than tracking strength development. (LLM, conf=0.83)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Recent work supports the view that trunk rotation bridges the legs to the upper body, allowing the legs to transform vertical GRF to horizontal punch impact force.

    “Recent work also supports this view, suggesting that trunk rotation bridges the legs to the upper body, allowing the legs to transform vertical GRF to horizontal punch impact force (44).”

    From The Role of Strength on Punch Impact Force in Boxing (2022) · cites this paper as [44]

    The Press-up Tests section says forceful punching depends on coordinated action of the lower body, trunk, and upper body. The Medicine Ball Backhand Throw section uses trunk rotation in a movement similar to a rear-hand punch. Neither section says that trunk rotation converts vertical ground-reaction force from the legs into horizontal punch impact force; page numbers were not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
