MODELING DEFENSIVE AND COUNTERATTACK TECHNIQUES IN MODERN BOXING

Abstract

This thesis investigates the improvement and modeling of defensive and counter-attacking techniques in modern amateur and professional boxing. The purpose of the study is to develop pedagogical-biomechanical models of effective defensive methods (ducks, slips, side-steps) at various distances and the subsequent high-speed counter-attacking combinations under high-dynamic fight conditions. Throughout the research, using video analysis of competitive bouts and expert assessment methods, the speed and accuracy of punches delivered by student-boxers after defensive maneuvers were monitored. The findings indicate that the training process organized on the basis of the developed technical- tactical models not only increases the stability of boxers' defense but also significantly enhances the effectiveness of counter-attacking operations at close and medium ranges.
