Summary

Boxing is an intermittent combat sport that requires repeated high-intensity actions, sustained punching output, and rapid post-exercise recovery. This single-arm field-based study will examine the effects of a nine-session high-intensity intermittent training program on sport-specific punching output, heart-rate responses, and accelerometer-derived movement responses in youth amateur boxers. Participants will complete a standardized boxing-specific test before and after the intervention. The primary outcome will be the total number of punches completed during the test. Secondary outcomes will include round-by-round punching output, heart rate immediately after the test, heart rate one minute after the test, one-minute heart-rate recovery, and the accelerometer-derived sum of absolute acceleration peaks recorded during each round. The study is designed to provide ecologically valid evidence on feasible monitoring strategies for training adaptation in amateur boxing.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Nine-session high-intensity intermittent boxing training

The intervention consists of nine supervised training sessions based on high-intensity intermittent boxing-specific exercises. Sessions will be conducted in a real-world amateur boxing training environment and will involve repeated high-intensity efforts, recovery intervals, and technical actions representative of boxing demands. The intervention is not pharmacological and does not involve a medical device.
