“…Shortening RT by improvement decision-making speed and focusing and distribution of the attention could fill a performance gap at the high-level competition, associated with high pressure, fast pace, and unpredictable situations (Wang, 2010). However, the highly individualized training program for an elite professional boxer (Larson et al, 2012) revealed no significant reduction in RT and a significant improvement only in the level of accuracy (making significantly fewer errors).…”

“…Based on our qualitative findings and previous studies in broad populations of athletes and non-athletes (e.g., Fard, Boroujeni, & Lavender, 2019;Larson, Sherlin, Talley, & Gervais, 2012;Lesiakowski, Zwierko, & Krzepota, 2013;Reigal et al, 2019;Surina-Marysheva, Malkov, & Yermolaeva, 2016), we have selected the measurement of RT as the most suitable for the assessment of boxers' attention. Measurements of RT are useful for the investigation of attentional processes, modulating individual reactions (Coull, 1998;Posner et al, 2006).…”

This study explored the problem of attention and its development in young boxers. A rapidly changing situation and a high level of traumatization in boxing are demanding the development of athletes’ attention. Focusing on technical or motivational training is among the reasons for underestimating the development of attentional skills. Study 1 involved seven expert coaches (males, mean age 45.4, mean working experience 20.3 years). The results revealed a relatively high assessment of the psychological component of training and a low agreement on the development of attentional skills. Coaches indicated that testing is the best measurement of attention. Study 2 focused on the measurement of reaction time (RT) in young boxers. Simple and complex RT of nine athletes, aged 12 to 15 (33% females), were assessed before and after the 15 minutes long warm-up. The results demonstrated no significant change in boxers' simple RT and a decrease (about 30 ms) in complex RT after the warm-up. The feedback was provided for athletes and their coaches. A contrast appeared between coaches’ view of well-known exercises for developing attention and their question “Could you suggest some exercise?” Simultaneously, coaches suggested a more specific RT measurement, including the full time of a punch.

“…The lower value of the "acceleration effect" in ambidexters and left-handers may be due precisely to the fact that they cannot overcome this physiological barrier. This is confirmed by the fact that in ambidexters and left-handers the "acceleration effect" of the right hand is almost the same [11,21,33,40]. In this case, we cannot speak of less arbitrary regulation of movements in ambidexters and left-handers [8,17].…”

Purpose: determining peculiarities of speed characteristics of hand movements of female boxers with different functional asymmetry types during dynamic work performance. Material: 50 highly skilled female boxers (masters of sports of international class, masters of sports). The study of female boxer psychomotor functions was designed according to a certain scheme. The motor component of motor response was examined by means of tapping test. The time of a simple and two complex visual-motor responses was determined. The study was completed by determining the identification time for visual stimuli of various degrees of complexity without a motor response. It was assumed that this will allow to consider the visual-gnostic component in a "pure" form. Such a design of the study permitted to evaluate the contribution of each component of psychomotor response to the response speed of female boxers with different types of functional hemispheric asymmetry (FHA) profile. Results: For the first time, the psychophysiological indices of female boxers were obtained. Female boxers were conditionally divided into right-handers, left-handers and ambidexters. The differences of these groups of female athletes in psychophysiological indices were established. Conclusions: In convenient mode, ambidexters perform work at a high rate than right-handers. At that, their right hand is faster than the left. The total number of movements performed by left-handers is greater than that of right-handers and ambidexters (it concerns both hands). The speed characteristics of female boxers with different types of functional asymmetry in accelerated mode are the same. The pace stability of right-handers and left-handers is high, but less than that of ambidexters. Ambidexters who use the right-handed stance are at advantage than right-handers with right-handed stance. Left-handed female athletes perform movements with greater speed than right-handed ones. For right-handed and left-handed female athletes it is more difficult to maintain the optimal pace of the right than the left hand, whereas ambidexters have problems with maintaining the optimal pace of the left hand. Left-handed female athletes are faster than right-handed ones.

“…The leading role is assigned to psychophysiological parameters: sensorimotor responses, operational thinking, properties of attention (Chen, Tseng, Hung et al, 2013;Martsiv, 2014;Ostyanov, 2011). Psychophysiological indicators form the tactical abilities of athletes and determine the effectiveness of competition in changing situations of a combat (Larson, Sherlin, Talley, Gervais, 2012).…”

Purpose: to determine the features of the hand motionspeed characteristics of female boxers with different types of functional asymmetry during dynamic work performing. Material and methods Participants:50 highly qualified female boxers (masters of sports, world-class athletes). The study of boxer's psychomotor functions was constructed according to a certain pattern. The motor component of the motional response was investigated with the help of a tapping test. The time of simple and two complex visual-motor responses was determined. The study was completed by determining the time of identification of visual stimuli with various degrees of complexity without a motor response. It was assumed that this would allow considering the visual-gnostic component in a "pure" form. Such a construction of the study made it possible to evaluate the contribution of each component of the psychomotor response to the speed of boxer's response with different types of functional interhemispheric asymmetry (FIA) profile. Conclusions:Ambidexters perform work at a faster speed than right-handers in a convenient mode. In this case, their right hand is faster than the left. The total quantity of motions which have been made by left-handers was greater than that of right-handers and ambidexters (both on the right hand and on the left one). The speed characteristics of female boxers with different types of functional asymmetry in the accelerated mode were the same. The tempo stability in right-handers and left-handers is high, but worse than in ambidexters. Boxerambidexterswho use the right stance are in a better position than right-handed ones. Left-handed female athletes perform motions with greater speed than right-handed ones. Keeping the optimal tempo for right-handers and left-handers is worse on the right hand than on the left one. Maintaining an optimal tempo for ambidexters is worse on the left hand. Left-handed athletes are faster than right-handed ones.
