Physiological Testing Battery For Boxing

This document discusses physiological testing for boxers to identify strengths, areas for improvement, and inform training. It outlines appropriate tests for various physical demands of boxing like repeated high-intensity rounds, force production, acceleration, and making weight. Tests include Yo-Yo intermittent recovery, repeated sprint, vertical jumps, medicine ball throw, sprints, and pushups. Athletes would complete two testing sessions within 10 days to develop an athlete profile and receive training recommendations and incentives. The testing schedule in February and March 2014 is provided.

Physiology of Sport and Exercise


The scientific study of how the body responds and adapts to exercise

Needs Analysis
Performance Characteristics Physiological Demands Physical Characteristics

Boxing Example
Multiple 3 minute rounds with 1 minute recovery Increased Heart Rate and Blood Lactate High Aerobic and Anaerobic Capacity

Physical Characteristics can be Monitored and Assessed by Physiological Testing... MSc Project Title: Physiological Testing Battery for Boxing

Overview
The Importance of Physiological Testing Physical Characteristics Appropriate Testing Methods Benefits of Participation Schedule

The Importance of Physiological Testing

Identify strengths and areas for improvement

Assist talent I.D. and selection

Evaluation and prescription of sport science interventions

Multiple 3 minute rounds with 1 minute recovery

Increased Heart Rate and Blood Lactate

High Aerobic and Anaerobic Capacity

Appropriate Tests..
Yo Yo Intermittent Repeated Sprint Recovery Test

Yo Yo Intermittent Recovery Test


Content
The test is based on a prerecorded cadence that progressively increases each minute of the test, requiring the athlete to progressively increasing running speed over a 20-m course for as long as possible

What does it test?


Indicate individuals aerobic capacity Ability to perform at high intensities Performing high intensity actions intermittently

Repeated Sprint Test


Content
Repeat 20-m maximal effort sprints 6 times with 20 second recover in-between The 20 seconds recovering consists of a walk to the start line ready to repeat the 20-m sprint The aim is to limit the time deficiency between the first and last sprint as much as possible

What does it test?


Indicates individuals anaerobic capacity Ability to reproduce high intensity actions

Forceful punches to score points or K.O.

Muscle to contract to exert force

Force Production and Impulse

Appropriate Tests..
Vertical Jumps
Medicine Ball Throw

Vertical Jumps
Content
Participants are required to perform two types of vertical jumps - Countermovement Jump (CMJ) and Squat Jump (SJ) CMJ: Start from a standing position, quick dip of the hips and knees accompanied by an arm swing to jump as high as possible SJ: Start with knees flexed at 90 degrees with the femur parallel to the floor. Similar instructions are maintained in regard of hip extension, vertical jump and arm swing.

What does it test?


Lower body force production Lower body impulse Elasticity of the stretch shortening cycle

Medicine Ball Throw


Content
3kg medicine ball will be used for the test. The participant is required to take a split stance with a rotated trunk holding the medicine ball at shoulder level of the same side of the rear foot with the elbows flexed Participant throws the medicine ball as far as possible in a punching action

What does it test?


Upper body and lower body impulse Ability to transfer forces through the kinetic chain Estimation of punching force

Weight Categories

Lowest body mass possible

Appropriate Tests..
Anthropometric Assessments

Making weight (body mass)

Body Fat Percentage

Anthropometric Profile
Content
Body mass and stature are standardised procedures within any scientific test The principal investigator will use skin callipers to calculate the sum of skinfolds on 8 different sites of the body (Triceps, Biceps, Subcapular, Iliac Crest, Supraspinale, Abdominal, Thigh and Medial Calf).

What does it test?


Sum of skinfolds, along with body mass and stature, can be used to calculate body fat percentage.

Punching speed and evade opponent

Repeated high velocity actions

Acceleration

Appropriate Tests..
10-m Sprint Push Up Test

10-m Sprint Test


Content
Participants will record 5- and 10-m sprint times by running through a series of timing gates Participants are required to sprint maximally from a two point stance

What does it test?


Acceleration Impulse Transfer of forces through the kinetic chain Ability to produce horizontal impulses and force

Content

Push Up Test

Participants are required to start with bodyweight resting on the hands and toes, with hands placed perpendicular to the shoulder joint with arms and legs fully extended with the trunk parallel to the floor. Then, keeping the body straight, the participant lowers until all of the body from the chest to the thighs contact the floor. Repeat the action until failure.

What does it test?


Muscular endurance Ability to reproduce forceful actions
