Boxen ist eine überlegte Methode zur Selbstentwicklung, die es ermöglicht, eine ansprechende Figur zu formen, die Kraft zu stärken und die Reaktionszeit zu verkürzen. Diese Vorteile sind jedoch nicht die einzigen für diese traditionelle Disziplin – sie ermöglicht auch die Entwicklung des Charakters. Was sind also genau die Vorteile des Boxtrainings?
Boxing and Psychology
At present, psychology has successfully debunked the idea that boxing incites aggression. In fact, it enables the healthy release of energy and stress and teaches control over emotions. Educators recommend that children with concentration difficulties sign up for boxing lessons. An additional benefit of participating in this type of sport is learning to concentrate. In the ring, maximum concentration is required, there is no time for excuses - one must quickly react to the opponent's actions. Furthermore, boxing aids in building self-confidence and proves to be effective in treating psychological traumas. Boxing also has a positive impact on external appearance and helps to gain a sense of security on the street - the fighter knows that he has techniques that will allow him to fend off a potential attack to a lesser or greater extent. Boxing also teaches humility - not everyone will be better, one must accept that with humility. Trainings require discipline and increase pain tolerance.
How does boxing impact muscle shaping?
A substantial increase in muscle mass is not foreseeable. To achieve this, one should opt for bodybuilding. The mentioned martial art, however, strengthens all parts of the body and aids in the removal of fat tissue. The result of exercises is a svelte and chiseled physique. This does not apply to experts who are concerned about their body weight in the context of qualifying for individual weight classes. Boxing also significantly develops fitness. Executing a punch requires the engagement of not only the arms and abdomen but also the legs and back as well as the application of appropriate breathing techniques. Generally, endurance is enhanced by exercises introduced in sessions by the instructor. After a month of training, conducted twice a week for one and a half hours, the first outcomes will be visible on the upper back and chest.
Burned calories during boxing
During boxing, a huge number of calories are burned, with the most energy being expended during sparring training. However, it is important to note that boxing activities are not limited to fighting with a partner. They typically consist of 5 minutes of warm-up, 20 minutes of weight-bearing cardio exercises (e.g. medicine ball), 50 minutes of technique mastery and testing on an opponent, and 15 minutes of stations (a few rounds of various repetitions). With such a schedule, for 90 minutes, the athlete burns an average of 12 calories per kilogram of exercise. A man weighing 100 kilograms can burn up to 1200 kcal in a single workout (about 800 kcal per session).
Who is boxing appropriate for?
Boxing is a sport that is suitable for everyone, regardless of age or gender. Although it may sound trivial, many people confirm that this sport is accessible to all who attend training sessions. In recent years, it has been easy to observe the activation of the older generation in boxing training. It is no longer surprising to see a 60-year-old man participating in training. Children from five years old also enjoy this sport. The gender of the player does not play a significant role here, although the majority of training participants are men. However, more and more women are becoming interested in this martial art. These rules, however, apply to beginners or amateurs. If it comes to professional boxing, it is necessary to start the sports career at the right age, preferably still in the teenage years. However, there are important contraindications - people with heart problems or back problems should not engage in this sport. Excessive weight also excludes the possibility of participating in training, as boxing requires work from the joints, which can easily become injured with too much body weight.
