Improving the efficiency of technical training of boxers with emphasis on controlling the chin position

the article presents a study of the effectiveness of a training solution for controlling the chin position in boxers. The aim of the study is to develop and experimentally test the effectiveness of an innovative training solution for controlling chin position in boxers. The research methods included pedagogical experiment, video analysis, expert evaluation and reaction time testing. A technical solution was developed in the form of a “smart” pad with sound signaling, providing instant feedback in case of incorrect head position. The study involved 24 athletes 14-15 years old with boxing experience of 6-12 months, divided into control and experimental groups. During the six-month experiment, the number of technical errors, reaction time and expert evaluation of technique were evaluated. The results showed a significant superiority of the experimental group: the number of errors decreased by 78% (vs. 41% in the control group), reaction time improved by 0.24 seconds (vs. 0.13), and expert evaluation of technique increased to 8.6 points (vs. 6.2). In competitive activity, the experimental group made 64% fewer errors. Statistical reliability of the differences was confirmed (p<0.05). The developed solution is recommended for implementation in sports schools and boxing sections to improve the effectiveness of technical training of novice athletes.
