Abstract
There is no greater combination of finesse and strength than the sport of boxing. The body must be conditioned to endure long rounds and equally trained to produce power punch after power punch. A boxer must also have a well developed kinesthetic awareness and the coordination to evade the oncoming attack. The purpose of this study was to integrate a periodization regimen for a male amateur boxer looking to compete in a fight. Whereas many sports utilize a season-long peak period, boxers need to prepare for the week around their fight. This study explores the variability in periods when applied to different levels of boxers. Because of the theoretical nature of this study, the benefits and specificity of the periods of the macrocycle will be examined in depth in order to ensure understanding. This study should provide a new perspective and deeper understanding of boxing training, allowing amateur boxers and their trainers to compete and train at a highest level.
