“…An additional limitation of the current study is the lack of a priori power calculation in choosing the study sample size. The authors aimed to include >100 respondents, based on previous survey-based studies in this area [7,30].…”

“…This is reflected in an increased focus on training to develop these physical qualities close to competition [3]. For coaches and practitioners, the day of the bout and the immediate days prior to and post-bout can provide an opportunity to incorporate pre-conditioning and recovery strategies that can aid or optimize sport performance [4][5][6][7][8]. More specifically, this period may allow for a more controlled environment for standardized practice, in the form of acute interventions [8].…”

“…Preconditioning strategies can include the warm-up, passive heat maintenance, post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE), ischemic pre-conditioning, hormonal priming, and resistance priming [8]. Likewise, athletes often partake in recovery modalities, including but not limited to, cold-water immersion (CWI), active recovery, massage, and acute interventions to improve sleep quality [4,5,7,9,10]. Previous literature has shown greater rear hand punch force capabilities in elite boxers (4800 ± 277 N), when compared to intermediates (3722 ± 133 N) and novices (2381 ± 216 N) [11].…”

“…Common recovery strategies used by team sport athletes include, but are not limited to, massage, cold-water immersion, supplementation, compression garments, active recovery, and many more [4]. However, to the authors' best knowledge, only a single study has provided data on the prevalence of such recovery modes in combat sport athletes, unfortunately this did not include boxers [7]. Nevertheless, this particular study presented a variety of popular recovery modes completed by combat athletes, including sauna use, massage, cryotherapy and active recovery-based activity.…”

Objectives: A variety of acute strategies around competition are used to prepare and promote physical and mental restoration in athletes. However, to date, no research exists on the prevalence of such methods in amateur boxing. Therefore, this study aimed to 1) examine the prevalence of preconditioning and recovery strategies in amateur boxing; 2) ascertain whether this was discriminated against at competitor level. Methods: This study surveyed 101 senior amateur boxers (Senior Elite SEB n = 59; Senior Development SDB n = 42), on their application and perceptions of pre-conditioning and recovery strategies. Results: The reported findings determined a significantly greater number of SEB performed resistance priming activity up to 48 hours prior to competition (11, 19% vs 2, 5%; P = 0.040), and post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) activity in the pre-competition warm-up (18, 31% vs 1, 2%; P < 0.001), compared to SDB. Likewise, SEB reported they were also significantly more likely to utilize massage (SEB 35, 59%, SDB 11, 29%, P = 0.001) and cold-water immersion (CWI) (SEB 28, 47%, SDB 10, 29%, P = 0.016) as recovery modes, compared to their SDB counterparts. Conclusions: This study was the first to provide data on the use of PAPE, priming and recovery methods around amateur boxing bouts. Increased access to multi-disciplinary staff could be expected in SEB, possibly explaining the greater prevalence of evidence-based methods around competition. Once athlete responsiveness to PAPEand longer-term priming methods are initially assessed, these strategies could be implemented to improve punch-specific performance, though more research is needed on their efficacy. Likewise, boxers could utilize evidence-based recovery modes where possible, with increased importance during repeat-bout scenarios, such as domestic tournaments. Coaches and practitioners may use this data to implement pre-conditioning and recovery strategies, to optimize performance and reduce the risk of injury of amateur boxers.

“…A key part of injury prevention is implementing adequate training, which should be adjusted to the needs and skills of an individual athlete. It is also important for athletes to recover between training sessions and competitive events, which is when intense physical activity is performed [6][7][8]. The types of exercise that play a major role in preventing injuries include core stability exercise, eccentric training, plyometric exercise, dynamic stability exercise, and proprioception training [9,10].…”

Introduction. The high demands imposed by judo with regard to physical fitness can predispose athletes practising this sport to injury. The aim of the current study was to determine the relationship between the degree of functional limitations and performance outcomes in judo athletes. Material and methods. The study involved 23 judo athletes aged 17-27 years. For the purpose of carrying out comparative analyses, the judokas were divided into two groups according to their level of achievement. The first group consisted of medallists in international tournaments and Polish championships, and the second group was composed of non-medallists. The research tool used was the Functional Movement Screen test battery, which included seven exercise tests whose performance was rated on a scale from 0 to 3. Relationships between variables were assessed using Spearman's rho correlation coefficients. Inter-group differences were determined by means of the Mann-Whitney U test, and differences between the left and right side of the body in bilateral tests were examined using the Wilcoxon test (statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05). Results. The total score for the FMS test was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in judo athletes who had a higher level of achievement. Scores below 14 points, which were indicative of high susceptibility to injury, were received by two athletes from the group of medallists and 8 non-medallists. Major asymmetries were not found in the subjects; significant differences were observed only in the shoulder mobility test in senior judokas (p < 0.05) and non-medallists (p < 0.01). Conclusions. Judo athletes who had better performance outcomes in competitions had higher scores in the FMS test. Functional limitations can have an impact on the outcomes of performance in judo; their degree is indicative of the quality of the movement as well as of susceptibility to injury.

Introduction. The aim of this study was to characterize physiotherapeutic methods applied in supporting training and biological regeneration of amateur athletes (women practising fitness and men practising bodybuilding). Materials and methods. 115 participated in the survey, 45 women practising fitness and 70 men practising bodybuilding. The author’s survey constituted the study tool. Differences were calculated using the chi-squared and t-Student test for independent groups, assuming p≤0.05 as the minimum significance level. Results. Regular use of physiotherapy treatments supporting trainings and post-exercise regeneration was declared by 48 (42%) of the studied athletes (44% women 40% men). Regular perform of stretching exercises was declared by The most frequently used treatment indicated by women and men was sauna. Regular perform of stretching exercises after training was declared by 68 (59%) of the studied people. The most examined amateur athletes (66%) declared using diet supplementary (51% women and 75% men). The most frequently used dietary supplement were vitamins and minerals in women and proteins in men Conclusions. Less than 50% examined amateur athletes use physiotherapeutic support of training regularly. Application of physiotherapeutic support of training in amateur sports should be promoted by coaches, physiotherapist and medical staff. The most frequently used physiotherapeutic treatments are the ones which are easily accessible (sauna, massage). Nonetheless, their effectiveness has been scientifically proven.
