Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

From a biomechanical point of view, the high-impact force generated by the lower limbs in boxers is transferred through the stiff kinetic chain, which is stabilised by the core muscles to transform into a powerful punch in the upper extremity. Despite these essential functions, there is a lack of research on the effect of core muscles in boxing. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the contribution of core muscles in punching, and it was hypothesised that the endurance of trunk flexors, extensors, and lateral muscles on the dominant and non-dominant sides has a substantial contribution to punch speed and power in boxers.
