Seven percent voluntary body weight
decrease by boxers requires 21 days while
4.4 percent increase needs only one day. Energy and fluid intakes reduction
does not affect boxers punching force. Boxers effective punch masses and body
weights correlate. Wrist girths and competition rankings of boxers correlate. Boxers show leanness body fat percentage.
Boxers, generally highly mesomorphic, with increasing body weight, show
ectomorphy decreases but endomorphy and mesomorphy increases. Vibration treatment enhances power in boxers arm flexors. Presence,
nature and thickness of bandages and gloves donned influence boxers punch
force. Stance posture adopted by boxers ends in locomotion functional
parameters adaptations. Muscular recruitment sequence during rear straight punches may be influenced by the target
height (head or body levels) and the boxer
intention (produce maximal force or maximal speed). Handgrip strength: 1) increases from younger to older and from lighter to heavier boxers, and 2) correlates with competition ranking. Rear knee extension increases rear straight punching force
to the head. Compared to uppercut and straight punches, the hook produces the
highest change in hand velocity. Maximal forces are larger
for the rear than the lead hand, and greater in more than in less experienced boxers. Hook punch force is greater than those
