Interrelationships of 14-15-year-old boxers' preparedness with neurodynamic characteristics and fighting style differences

The purpose of the study is to examine the relationships between the general and specific preparedness outcomes of 14–15-year-old boxers and the manifestations of individual psychological characteristics and stylistic features in conducting competitive bouts at different stages of the training process. Research methods and organization. To study the preparedness of young boxers, test methods of control and transfer standards were used, as well as the “Kick Tester” boxing bag program "KIKTEST-100", endurance coefficients (the ratio of work results on the boxing bag in the first minute to the results in the third minute), repeated viewing of competitive fights, the voluntary motor methodology of E. P. Ilyin (2001), and methods of mathematical and statistical data processing (Student's t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient). The pedagogical experiment was conducted at the sports research platform of the Department of Theory and Methods of Physical Education at SibGUFK. The object of the study was the training process of 14-15-year-old boxers, and the subject of the study was the application of speed-strength-oriented means and methods at the pre-competition preparation stage. Research results and conclusions. The results of the study showed that the component composition of indicators such as preparedness and the manifestation of neurodynamic characteristics, as well as their interrelationships, differ significantly among young boxers with different competitive fighting styles. Thus, knockout specialists are most characterized by connections in general physical preparedness. Tempo boxers exhibit relatively integrated connections between the results of general and specialized training. For boxers with a tactical, game-oriented style, the relationships between the results of speed-strength endurance and the sharpness of executing punches over a 2-minute period are more pronounced. Among the individual psychological characteristics of knockout athletes, the correlations with general and specific indicators of preparedness are more pronounced in terms of excitation mobility. For tempo boxers, such correlations are more evident in terms of nervous system strength and the internal balance between excitation and inhibition. Similar correlations are also observed in boxers who employ a tactical style of combat, although the nature and direction of these correlations differ significantly.
