In this study, an important issue in the field of exercise training physiology and biomechanics is highlighted. The
Aim: of this study is to determine the real effects of functional training on improvement of the efficiency of anaerobic metabolic enzymes (CPK and LDH), biomotor variables and increase of punch power in young boxers. To achieve these
Objectives: the investigator used the experimental
Method: by establishing two equivalent groups (experimental and control). A purposive sample of 10 adolescent boxers (15-16 years old) were selected from Hilla Sports Club and randomly allocated into two equal groups to maintain balance for the research. During the eight weeks leading up to the actual experiment, the experimental group followed a rigorous and consistent functional training program, consisting of three training sessions per week. The procedures included the collection of intravenous blood samples for the analysis of enzymatic markers and the performance of physical assessments, which consisted of measuring the explosive strength of the upper limbs through the throwing of a 3 kg medical ball, evaluating motor velocity through the repeated punching in 10 seconds, and quantifying the force of the upward punch in Newtons with precise scientific equipment. The field experiment demonstrated significant statistical
Results: with marked benefit for the experimental group relative to the control group using conventional training
Methods: for all physiological, physical and mechanical features. The study posted impressive “impact size” numbers of 2.6 to 3.8. According to the data, the researcher made a strong scientific
Conclusion: that functional training can improve neuromuscular coordination and induce good physiological changes in cells, so as to greatly increase the absolute force of the upward punch, and improve the energy transfer efficiency of the human body's open kinetic chain.
