Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in specific physical fitness of the national amateur women's boxer. The Korean women's national amateur boxers were classified into the lightweight category (LWC, n=21) and middleweight category (MWC, n=13), and body composition (percentage body fat and body mass index) and specific physical fitness (maximal muscle strength, anaerobic power, isokinetic muscle strength, cardiopulmonary endurance) were measured. The Mann-Whitney U-test was conducted to determine the differences in the body composition and specific physical fitness in women's boxers. The percentage body fat (P=0.004) and body mass index (P<0.001) were significantly higher in the LWC compared to MWC. In addition, LWC showed significantly higher isokinetic muscle strength (P<0.001), upper anaerobic mean power (P=0.002), maximal muscle strength (P=0.003), and maximal heart rate at anaerobic threshold (P=0.029), maximal oxygen consumption (P<0.001) and the 20-m shuttle-run exercise (P=0.004) compared to MWC. In conclusion, the body fat percentage and body mass index levels among body composition were significantly higher in the MWC than in the LWC, and the constant muscle strength, maximum muscle strength, and cardiopulmonary endurance levels were significantly higher in the LWC than in the MWC. The results of this study are expected to provide useful data for planning future strategies for efficient and scientific training programs for each weight category.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation is the official journal of the Korean Society of Exercise Rehabilitation, and is published six times a year. Supplementary issues may be published. Its official abbreviation is "J Exerc Rehabil". It was launched in 2005. The title of the first volume was Journal of the Korean Society of Exercise Rehabilitation (pISSN 1976-6319). The journal title was changed to Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation from Volume 9 Number 2, 2013. The effects of exercise rehabilitation are very broad and in some cases exercise rehabilitation has different treatment areas than traditional rehabilitation. Exercise rehabilitation can be presented as a solution to new diseases in modern society and it can replace traditional medicine in economically disadvantaged areas. Exercise rehabilitation is very effective in overcoming metabolic diseases and also has no side effects. Furthermore, exercise rehabilitation shows new possibility for neuropsychiatric diseases, such as depression, autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, etc. The purpose of the Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation is to identify the effects of exercise rehabilitation on a variety of diseases and to identify mechanisms for exercise rehabilitation treatment. The Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation aims to serve as an intermediary for objective and scientific validation on the effects of exercise rehabilitation worldwide. The types of manuscripts include research articles, review articles, and articles invited by the Editorial Board. The Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation contains 6 sections: Basic research on exercise rehabilitation, Clinical research on exercise rehabilitation, Exercise rehabilitation pedagogy, Exercise rehabilitation education, Exercise rehabilitation psychology, and Exercise rehabilitation welfare.
