Boxing

Boxing is an extremely physically demanding sport that requires high levels of aerobic fitness and strength, as well as considerable skill and mental determination.

Plyometrics for boxers will improve explosive muscular power whilst throwing punches, and the added ability of being able to react quicker to both block or move away from your opponent.

Dedicated boxers may train 2 - 3 times a day, combining bag work with sparring and general conditioning running / gym work. Implementing plyometrics into your training should be gradual, making sure that you don't train sore muscles, or look at perfroming sessions prior to sparring or any time in the ring. Aim to work 1 upper and lower body session every 7 - 10 days, with core abdominal work 2 - 3 times in the same period, always having a minimum of 2 days rest between plyometric sesions - the aim is for maximal efforts - short sharp explosions - these can not be performed if the muscles are tired from previous training.
