Neurological tests improve after Olympic-style boxing bouts: a pretournament and post-tournament study in the 2016 Women’s World Boxing Championships

Abstract: Female boxers demonstrated either improvement or no significant changes in test performance after competing in an Olympic-style boxing tournament, relative to pretournament performance. As many of the test tasks were novel for the boxers, practice effects may have contributed to improved performance. When there is a short time frame between assessments, clinicians should be aware of potential practice effects when using ringside neurological tests.

“…This was reported in approximately 17% of professional boxers with long careers and a large number of bouts, who progressively developed after multiple concussions a disease with behavioral, mood and cognitive abnormalities (emotional lability, memory loss), and motor impairments (mild Parkinsonism, dysarthria and mild imbalance) (Tarazi et al, 2016). Olympic-style boxing has a less violent history with serious injuries being rare, and there is no strong evidence supporting a relationship with chronic brain injury (Howell et al, 2017). Nowadays, dementia pugilistica is rare, but even a single bout can produce permanent deficits; therefore boxing is never devoid of risk for permanent brain injury (Castellani & Perry, 2017).…”

So, the reaction speed is one of the defining qualities for the formation of the style of the duel [17][18][19][20].
