Seven percent voluntary body weightdecrease by boxers requires 21 days while4.4 percent increase needs only one day. Energy and fluid intakes reductiondoes not affect boxers punching force. Boxers effective punch masses and bodyweights correlate. Wrist girths and competition rankings of boxers correlate. Boxers show leanness body fat percentage.Boxers, generally highly mesomorphic, with increasing body weight, showectomorphy decreases but endomorphy and mesomorphy increases. Vibration treatment enhances power in boxers arm flexors. Presence,nature and thickness of bandages and gloves donned influence boxers punchforce. Stance posture adopted by boxers ends in locomotion functionalparameters adaptations. Muscular recruitment sequence during rear straight punches may be influenced by the targetheight (head or body levels) and the boxerintention (produce maximal force or maximal speed). Handgrip strength: 1) increases from younger to older and from lighter to heavier boxers, and 2) correlates with competition ranking. Rear knee extension increases rear straight punching forceto the head. Compared to uppercut and straight punches, the hook produces thehighest change in hand velocity. Maximal forces are largerfor the rear than the lead hand, and greater in more than in less experienced boxers. Hook punch force is greater than thoseof uppercut and straight punches. Boxer aim (produce maximum force or maximum speed) influence his punching force. Massage neither prevents a decrement inrepeated performance nor has detrimental effects on performance, but increasesrecovery perceptions, compared with the passive rest intervention.
