Abstract
Aim: In the aim of this study is to examine the effects of 12-week boxing training once a week on some physical parameters. Material and Methods: In the study, 13 recreation students (age 19.04±8.15 years, weight 66.75±6.85kg, height 175.46±4.44cm) were participated . First of all, the height and weight measurements were taken, and then biceps diameter measurements were done to participants. After anthropometrics measurements, a standard 15-minute warm-up protocol was applied before the measurements followed by tests. Lastly standard 30 seconds push-up test, passive bar hang, right and left hands reaction time were applied to participants. Basic boxing training was given to the volunteers for a total of 2 hours per day in a week for 12 weeks. After the 12-week boxing training program, the second measurements were made under the same conditions again and recorded. Results: The result of the study is that it was found that there was a significant change in some parameters of the individuals who did boxing training 1 day a week. A significant difference (p<0.05) was found in the right biceps’ diameter of the group and the reaction time of the right hands of the group. Only a significant difference in the right arm was seen, it can be caused the majority of the group was right-handed. Conclusion: 12-week boxing training period was increased the number of push-ups and passive bar hanging times. As a result, one-day boxing training in a week for 12 weeks can improve individuals’ abilities.

Summary
Boxing is a sports branch which requires dynamic and static features. It is complex structured and needs strength (Soslu et al, 2018). A typical boxing event is held over 3x2 minutes for the novice and 4x2 minutes for the middle boxer, while open-class boxers can take 3x3 or 4x2 minutes rounds depending on the coach's agreement. Boxing fitness components include cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Skillrelated components include speed, agility, strength, balance, coordination, and response time. Most combat sports require a mix of technical, strength, aerobic fitness, power and speed. The physiological responses, especially the heart rate and the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), the blood lactate values vary even according to the weight category and the rounds (Slimani et al, 2017)
