“…Sangarapillai et al 8 examined the utility of boxing training compared to a sensory exercise program and reported similar adherence (98%) and retention (100%) rates to the present study. Domingos et al 10 investigated boxing training with and without kicking exercises and also noted high adherence (85%). This study, however, reported lower retention (86%) than the present study and work by Sangarapillai et al 8 It is noteworthy that FIGHT‐PD and work by Sangarapillai et al 8 included high‐intensity boxing training sequences and reported no serious adverse events.…”

BackgroundBoxing training has become a popular form of exercise for people with Parkinson disease (PD). There is a dearth of high‐quality feasibility, safety, and efficacy data on boxing training for PD. Feasibility of Instituting Graduated High‐intensity Training (FIGHT‐PD) aimed to examine these features in a periodized boxing training program featuring high‐intensity physical and cognitive demands.ObjectiveTo conduct a feasibility study, aiming to address deficiencies in the current knowledge base and to provide data for future studies.DesignSingle‐arm, open‐label feasibility.SettingUniversity department and medical research institute.ParticipantsTen people with early stage PD without contraindications to intense exercise, identified from a database of participants interested in boxing training.InterventionsA 15‐week exercise program with three 1‐hour sessions per week, with each session including warmup and then rounds of noncontact boxing using a training device. Three distinct blocks of 5 weeks including active rest. Boxers Development: focus on training technique Boxers Cardio: increasing intensity, including high‐intensity interval training Boxers Brain: focus on cognitively challenging dual task training Main Outcome MeasuresProcess, resource, and management measures including recruitment and retention rates, timelines and costs, and compliance with prescribed exercise targets. Clinical outcomes were safety (adverse events), training intensity (using heart rate and perceived exertion monitoring), tolerability (pain, fatigue, and sleep scores), and pre‐ and postprogram Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS‐III).ResultsAmong 10 participants from a pool of 82 (recruitment rate = 12%), there were no withdrawals; 348/360 workouts were completed (adherence = 97.7%); 4/348 (1.1%) workouts were missed due to minor injury. Nine of 10 participants showed improvement in UPDRS motor score.ConclusionsFIGHT‐PD provides a depth of feasibility and safety data, methodological detail, and preliminary results that is not described elsewhere and could provide a useful basis for future studies of boxing training for PD.

“…More recently, Domingos et al 10 provided greater detail, describing the composition and specific exercises prescribed in a boxing training program with and without kicking. This study did not detail the intensity of training sessions with rates of perceived exertion (RPE) or heart rate (HR) monitoring and did not report compliance.…”

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurological disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the substantia nigra and characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms. Boxing is a type of complementary therapy to improve symptoms in PD. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of boxing training on the functionality and quality of life of patients with PD. The literature search was performed on PubMed, Scopus, PEDro, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar search engines. The PEDro scale was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies. This systematic review included three studies that examined disease severity, mobility, physical activity, balance, and quality of life. According to the PEDro scale criteria, the three articles included were of high methodological quality. Statistically significant improvements after the implementation of boxing training was shown for balance and quality of life in contrast to the other variables. Boxing training intervention programs had a positive effect on balance and quality of life in patients with PD; however, the results are conflicting regarding certain functionality variables. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct further research to examine the effectiveness of boxing training on the functionality and quality of life of patients with Parkinson’s disease.

The article addresses the pressing issue of refining the training system for boxers by emphasizing the need for innovative methodological approaches in organizing the training process and selecting specialized training methods aligned with competition trends. The authors highlight the inadequacy of general approaches in the existing literature, stressing the necessity of detailed investigation into the aspects pivotal for boxer preparation. The research's relevance lies in resolving the contradiction between the paramount importance of technical-tactical readiness for competitive activities and the insufficient development of methodologies for its enhancement during the training process using specific drills. The study aims to investigate the impact of incorporating guiding exercises on the physical preparedness indicators of boxers. A pedagogical experiment was conducted with a group of ranked boxers, integrating guiding exercises during training sessions throughout the preparatory period. Physical fitness was assessed through pedagogical tests encompassing pull-ups, push-ups, running at various distances, long jumps, and the number of strikes on a boxing bag. The experimental group exhibited statistically significant improvements in pull-ups, push-ups, short-distance running, and the number of strikes on the boxing bag. The results underscore the positive influence of guiding exercises on the physical performance of boxers. Additionally, the article emphasizes the significance of refining the technical-tactical preparedness of boxers and encourages further research in this domain. In conclusion, the findings contribute to the understanding of how targeted exercises positively impact the physical capabilities of boxers, shedding light on the need for a more nuanced and detailed approach to training methodologies. The article serves as a valuable resource for coaches, researchers, and practitioners involved in high-level boxing training.
