High intensity interval training for boxing: Case study

Abstract: In this paper we present design and methodology for assessing the measured specific high intensity interval training protocol (HIIT) for boxers and evaluate the physiological response of the organism. Suggested load was compared with the training fight in term of heart rate and blood lactate level. HIIT protocol is an identical time to a competitive boxing match of 3x3 min. with a minute pause and consisted of a repeated execution of motion sequence. The motion sequence consisted of push-up, followed by a fast movement to 3 meters and back, and then one repetiton of power clean. We recorded the time of palm contact with the floor during push-up, time of the fast movement in seconds and the performance in power clean in watts. From the physiological parameters we recorded the heart rate and blood lactate level. In statistical processing we compared the values by anova single factor and the performance decrease (fatigue index) was evaluated using the linear trend in percentage. In the first round 11 sequences were performed, the average time of contact during the push-up was 0,89s, time of fast movement 2,63s and the performance in power clean was 770,64 W. In the second round, 9 sequences were performed, time of the contact was 0,93s, time of the movement was 2,88s and the power clean performance 726,67 W. In the third round, 9 sequences, time of contact 1,03s, time of the movement was 3,17s and the performance 717,33 W. Decrease in performance was reflected in all three monitored parameters on the level of 23,18% for the contact time, 38,37% for the fast movement and 11,46% for the power clean. The highest heart rate during HIIT has been achieved in the first round 171 bpm and the lactate level after the load 13,5 mmol and during training fight 171 bpm in third round and 13,1 mmol lactate level. When comparing the load with the training match, the overall heart rate values were not significantly different p>0.05 and similarity was 82,3%. The motion program created similar response of organism as the training fight. It can be used as training and diagnostic device. We suggest deeper analysis of its effectiveness on success in the competitive fight. The research is part of the grant task VEGA 1/0482/21 "Standardization of specific short-interval load as a motor test of strength-endurance abilities for combat sports."
