The effect of endurance effort on some respiratory system variables of boxers

Abstract

Boxing is a game that is characterized by physical qualities, including the element of endurance to reach the highest levels. Boxing has several advantages, whether in the case of attack or defense, in addition to its reliance on the basic movements of a person, such as normal standing, support, and the ready position, and being one of the fastest individual games due to the contact of two people with each other in a square-shaped ring. The boxer's performance is characterised by the strength and speed of the punches, which requires trainers to measure the physical qualities or elements during training seasons in order to ensure their continuous development. This can only be achieved through tests that measure these qualities for the boxer in all his categories during training or in the application of the exception. Hence, the importance of research lies in identifying the responses and adaptations that occur in some respiratory system variables in players through endurance tests that coaches resort to in particular periodically as (training-test) units through which the training condition is evaluated and developed. In addition to identifying the effects and physiological responses achieved by these tests in the respiratory system for the purpose of evaluating the functional efficiency of boxers, as this knowledge is the main goal of sports physiology as the science that aims to explore the direct and long-term effects caused by physical exercises on the functions of the various bodily systems.
