What are the benefits of practicing boxing

Boxing is a common sport and is also popular internationally. Now more and more people are starting to practice boxing. They think that practicing boxing can not only make their body lines more perfect but also strengthen their bodies. So besides these, what other benefits can practicing boxing bring to our body? Why is boxing so popular at home and abroad? So let us learn about the benefits of practicing boxing.

1. Enhance human strength

In a boxing match, the offensive and defensive movements depend on the explosive power of the human body. Only by exerting the greatest strength in the shortest time can the purpose of offense and defense be achieved and the offensive and defensive movements be completed effectively. This requires the boxer to have strong explosive power.

The elasticity of a well-trained boxer's muscles at work and the explosive power when punching are several times higher than those of an average person, and his punching speed will also increase accordingly. Practice boxing regularly. It can train the explosive power and speed strength of boxing enthusiasts and boxing athletes. Improve the muscle quality of boxing enthusiasts and athletes.

During boxing training and competition, the human body's muscles need to work continuously for a long time under a highly tense state, which places high demands on the continuous working ability of the human body's muscles and other functional systems. Especially in boxing matches, the muscle activity intensity is high and the movements last for a long time. If a boxer with a poor training level wants to persist for five rounds, it is very difficult.

During a match, a boxer's body muscles and mind are highly concentrated, which can easily cause fatigue of the nervous system, respiratory system, and circulatory system. Boxers and boxing enthusiasts who practice boxing regularly and often participate in boxing matches can improve the ability of muscles to work for a long time during practice and competition, and improve the activity functions of various systems of the human body, thereby enhancing and improving human endurance and enabling the human body to adapt to long-term and highly tense work, training and competition.

Boxing can also enhance the absolute strength of the practitioner. In boxing practice, especially in boxing matches, boxers must have greater absolute strength to achieve the purpose of attack and defense. In other words, one must have the power to severely injure the opponent in order to gain the advantage and initiative in a boxing match. Therefore, most boxers attach great importance to the training of absolute strength and often do a lot of upper body strength training to increase their power when attacking.

It has been measured that the punching power of the world's top boxers can reach 500 kilograms. A boxer with greater strength can cause his opponent to become psychologically fearful and lose confidence in the match. But please note that absolute strength can only be effective when combined with speed. If you only have strong absolute strength but a slow speed, it will be difficult to hit the opponent, making the strength meaningless.

Therefore, in the process of boxing practice, we must pay attention to the combination of absolute strength and speed. Exerting the greatest strength at the fastest speed is one of the key conditions for winning a boxing match.

2. Promote physical and mental development

Boxing is a sport that emphasizes both the hands and the brain and involves full-body activity. When practicing boxing or participating in a boxing match, people are constantly jumping and moving. Moreover, every action taken by the boxer is made after careful and quick consideration of the brain. Therefore, this places extremely high demands on the body's motor organs and the brain's analytical response, so that the body's motor organs and the brain can be fully exercised.

Because boxing training and competitions require high-intensity confrontations under a highly tense state, the boxer's respiratory system, circulatory system, nervous system, and motor system have very high requirements and require sufficient training.

According to experimental tests, during a boxing match, athletes absorb 3,000 ml of oxygen per minute and their pulse rate is about 200 beats per minute. Physiological tests have shown that the hearts of well-trained boxers increase in size and their myocardial beats become stronger and more powerful.

The competitive age of boxers is much longer than that of athletes in other competitive sports, and generally lasts until around 40 years old. For example, when American boxing champion Ali was 38 years old, he was still participating in professional boxing competitions. American boxing champion Foreman was still participating in professional boxing competitions at the age of 45. Holyfield, the American boxer and new world champion who defeated Tyson last year, won this honor for the third time at the age of 35. All of this shows the positive effects of boxing on the human body.

Boxing is not only a contest of physical strength, but also a contest of psychological wisdom. Long-term participation in boxing will cultivate people's tenacious fighting, daring to fight, and indomitable willpower, and will also cultivate people's concentration and persistent pursuit of their careers.

Since boxing is an extremely competitive sport, it can train boxers' emergency response capabilities and cultivate their psychological qualities to remain calm in dangerous and highly tense situations. This is not only beneficial to boxing, but also greatly helps boxers to deal calmly when encountering difficulties in their daily work and life.

3. Widespread impact on society

Boxing has caused a great impact and a sensation in the society. Now almost everyone in the world knows about Tyson biting Holyfield. This is not only a disgrace to the boxing industry, but also a way for boxing to create a social impact in society.

Of course, the impact of boxing on society is not just these scandals or tidbits. The most important thing is the rugged and wild charm of boxing itself. Boxing demonstrates a high level of beauty of strength, health, and skill, and has a strong appeal and excitement.

The benefits of practicing boxing cannot be described in a few words. In short, boxing is also a very good sport. If parents find that their children are passionate about this sport, they might as well send their children to play boxing. This sport is helpful for children's growth or body development, so it is still recommended.
