THE IMPACT OF TRAINING: ACUTE CHANGES IN BIOCHEMICAL ANALYTES OF PROFESSIONAL BOXERS

Abstract

Boxing, one of the oldest and most contentious sports, involves short yet intense bursts of activity, often leading to injuries in the head, neck, face, and hands. Neurological dysfunction stemming from brain trauma is prevalent among boxers. High-intensity exercise and its traumatic effects have prompted extensive research, delving into enzyme activities, lipid profiles, stress markers, brain injury biomarkers, pituitary functions, and more. This study, building on prior research, sought to assess specific biochemical parameters in boxers before and after training sessions.
