The Science of Boxing: In the Mexican Style

This book is firmly intended to serve as a theoretical and practical guide for developing a training program for preparing a boxer. To achieve this goal, the structure of the work is organized into chapters that contribute to the achievement of the objective, providing a partial and cumulative product in each section. The segments are organized into a first theoretical part, where the proposed actions in the second part of each chapter are justified. This second part is practical, and each episode concludes with the delivery of a product. Through this methodology, the final result of this work is the complete training program for preparing a boxer. The theories used are based on various scientific studies published on each topic, translating these concepts into well-detailed working methodologies that have been tested by several authors. The practical proposals are supported by the aforementioned methodologies, differentiating intensity, sets, repetitions, and rest periods. Additionally, the suggested exercises are presented with images and videos through QR codes (which the reader can scan with their mobile phone). This approach is taken because we believe that the videos presented via QR codes can offer coaches greater clarity on the type and form of the suggested movements. The final product of each chapter is a series of tables, from which the 3-month training program is built, so that by the end of this work, the coach will possess the complete training program, understanding it and being able to apply it practically.
