Boxing

BEST WITHOUT INJURIES

Training regularly is essential for improving and enjoying your sport over time. When you're injured, it prevents you from consistent training. Did you know that a previous injury increases the risk of a new one? That's why injury prevention is crucial to help you enjoy and perform in your sport. This program is designed to help you stay injury-free, so you can keep progressing and enjoy your sport for many years to come.

LOAD MANAGEMENT

Injuries are complex and can be influenced by many factors, such as training volume, physical condition, recovery, and overall load – to name a few. Although it is not easy to influence all of these factors, load management is an important aspect that can help reduce the risk of injuries. By properly balancing training load, you can decrease the risk of injuries. Together with coaches and parents, you can ensure an adapted load that allows for development while giving the body enough time to recover. You can read more about load management under "Nice to Know" on the homepage.

USE A BOXING HELMET AND OTHER PROTECTIVE GEAR

In boxing, it is important to replace your gloves regularly. This is mostly to protect fellow athletes from cuts from worn-out padding. You should also have a good helmet and suspensory. Remember: If you are tired and your technique is slipping up, it is time to conclude your training session. A tired athlete with bad technique and reduced focus risks making technical errors, and putting himself and others at risk of injury.
