Abstract

The importance of this research lies in utilizing competitive training to develop training methods that incorporate both comprehensiveness and specificity, achieving optimal training doses that enhance a boxer's physical, motor, and skill levels, enabling them to achieve success. The aim of the research is to prepare special competition exercises for young boxers weighing (64-81) kg, to identify the effect of competition exercises on motor speed and explosive power of the arms and straight punch for young boxers weighing (64-81) kg. As for the research method: The researcher followed the experimental method with a single-group design with a pre-test and post-test to suit the research problem, and the research sample: They were chosen intentionally and they are the boxers of Damok Sports Club in Wasit Governorate for the year 2023-2024, numbering (10) boxers with a weight of (64-81) kg, consisting of (5) boxers with a weight of (64) kg and (5) boxers with a weight of (81) kg. After conducting the pre-tests, applying the exercises and conducting the post-tests, the data were processed statistically through the statistical package Spss. It was concluded that the competition style exercises led to the development of motor speed, explosive power of the arms and straight punch of young boxers (64-81) kg, and that the training loads and training methods used in implementing the competition style exercises led to the development of motor speed, explosive power of the arms and straight punch of young boxers (64-81) kg.
