“…This study confirmed the results of our previous studies [26,33] on the informativeness of psychophysiological and biomechanical indicators to determine the propensity to a certain style of fighting in boxing. Confirmation of this position is due to the results of a comparative analysis of groups of athletes tested for psychophysiological and biomechanical indicators.…”

Purpose: to give a comparative description of the peculiarities of motor activity of boxers-veterans of different styles of fighting based on the analysis of psychophysiological and biomechanical parameters. Material and Methods: The study involved 42 qualified veteran boxers (age 45-50 years, body length - 178.67±8.26 cm, body weight - 70.96±9.38 kg). The biomechanical indicators of a direct blow in boxing were recorded using the Kinovea program, version 0.8.15, and psychophysiological indicators using the Psychodiagnostics program. As biomechanical indicators, the speed of movement of various points of the limbs and the angles in the joints were determined. As psychophysiological indicators, the speed of a simple visual-motor reaction, a reaction of choice in various testing modes was recorded. Based on these indicators, the mobility and endurance of the nervous system were determined. The reliability of differences between groups of different fighting styles was determined. Results. Tempo-style boxers differ from representatives of other fighting styles in their lower mobility of the nervous system and greater endurance for speedy and precise actions. Tempo-style boxers have the lowest values of the angle in the knee joint throughout the movement (p<0.05, p<0.01) and the highest speed of movement. Play style boxers are characterized by the greatest angle in the shoulder joint at the very beginning of the movement (p<0.05, p<0.001), the highest speed of fist and shoulder movement at the very beginning of the movement (p<0.001). Power style boxers develop maximum movement speed at the end of a straight punch compared to the beginning. Power style boxers are distinguished by the smallest values of the angle in the elbow joint, which is especially noticeable at the end of the movement (p<0.001). Conclusions. Psychophysiological features of boxers of different styles of fighting are reflected in the features of the technique of a direct blow. The lack of speed when tempo-style boxers are engaged in movement is supplemented and compensated by the high speed of movement. Play style boxers are characterized by high speed of movement at the very beginning of punching. Power style boxers are distinguished by the gradual development of movement speed.

“…From the data obtained, it follows that the work of the nervous system has the same regularities as the work of the muscular apparatus. This is not accidental, since the muscular work characteristic of any movement is guided by the nervous system [37][38][39]. And therefore, the properties of the nervous system also affect the speed and accuracy of movements over time.…”

“…The set goal assumed that the determination of the individual factor structure of the complex readiness of veteran boxers on the basis of psychophysiological and biomechanical indicators will make it possible to determine the hidden relationships between a wide range of psychophysiological and biomechanical indicators, combining the analyzed indicators into groups (factors) and determine the individual severity of each factor in each athlete ... After analyzing the individual severity of each factor for each athlete, we identified 3 groups of athletes: group 1 -the severity of the factor "Speed and coordination endurance" prevails (more than 80% of the maximum value) and insignificant (less than 30% of the maximum) severity of the factor " Speed". This means that these athletes are distinguished by their ability to maintain high speed and accuracy (coordination) of actions for a long time [37][38][39]. That is why we named this group "Speed and coordination endurance".…”

The monograph presents reveaingl the fighting style of veteran boxers based on the individual factor structure of psychophysiological and biomechanical indicators.The study involved 42 qualified veteran boxers (aged 45-50). A biomechanical analysis of the indicators of the movement speed of various points and the values of the joint angles while performing a direct blow by boxers has been used as a research method. The psychophysiological method has been used to determine the time of a simple and complex reaction under standard conditions and in various testing modes. Descriptive Statistics and Factor Analysis have been applied as methods of statistical analysis. Two main factors have been identified in the structure of the complex performance of qualified veteran boxers,. Factor 1 (55.063% of the total aggregate variance) is named «Speed». Factor 2 (44.937% of the total aggregate variance) stands for “Speed Endurance”. Individual factor structure, which is characterized by the distinctive factor «Speed and Coordination Endurance» by more than 80% as well as by the marked factor «Speed» by less than 30% is considered to be a particularity of the tempo style boxers. Individual factor structure, which is characterized by the intensity of the factor «Speed» by more than 80%, and by the distinctive factor «Speed and Coordination Endurance» by less than 30% is considered to be typical for the playing style boxers. The individual factor structure, which is characterized by the marked factor «Speed» by more than 50%, and by the intencity of the factor «Speed and Coordination Endurance» by less than 30% is seen to be peculiar to the strength style boxers. It is shown that the psychophysiological features of boxers of different fighting styles are reflected in the features of the direct strike technique. The lack of speed at the beginning of the movement in tempo style boxers is supplemented and compensated by the high speed of movement. Playing style boxers are characterized by a high speed of movement at the very beginning of the strike. Strength style boxers are characterized by the gradual development of movement speed.

“…There are three options for tactical styles of fighting in martial arts: game, power, tempo 6 . Kozin et al 7 proposed psychophysiological and biomechanical research methods that reveal boxers' predispositions to a certain fighting style. “Psychophysiological features of boxers of different styles of fighting are reflected in the features of the technique of a direct blow.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the speed of performing a complex motor task carried out under conditions requiring decision-making and the sports level of the kickboxers being studied. The authors constructed a test involving a complex author’s kickboxing task that mirrored the competitive conditions during a sports fight. Forty-seven K-1 kickboxing Polish National Team members (37 men and 10 women) performed a specific series of strikes across three variants. The relationship between the speed of these complex movement tasks, performed under decision-making conditions, and the sports level of the kickboxers, was evaluated. Deciding to start or change an action in reaction to external stimuli significantly (p < 0.001) increased the total task completion time in the male and female subject groups. The time spent deciding to take action and the time spent on deciding on the action were not significantly different. Quick execution of complex tasks under decision-making conditions, such as selecting the appropriate technical and tactical action, can become a decisive factor in determining a sports result. Making decisions to start or change an action as a reaction to external stimuli significantly (p < 0.001) extended the total time of task execution in the studied group. However, the time spent deciding to start the action and the time devoted to deciding during the action did not differ significantly. Therefore, the tactical solution an athlete uses makes no difference, though they must perform it confidently and with minimal time loss.
