Abstract
Delivering successful performance in sports depends on physical fitness. Unless the physical and physiological structure is in accordance with the requirements of the sports branch, a high performance in sports cannot be realized fully (Çakmakçı, 2002). Therefore, it is important to define and improve performance parameters such as body composition, anaerobic-aerobic endurance, capacity and strength in boxing. Accordingly, In this study, it is aimed to examine the physical and physiological fitness parameters of tiny natioanal boxers between 11–13 years of age. The research was carried out on 12 boxing athletes between 11–13 years of age in the tiny national category in Kırıkkale province. In statistical analysis, normality was understood by Shapiro-Wilk test and descriptive statistics method was used to define the data. In this study, maximum oxygen consumption capacity (VO2) maxs, lung functional volumes, hand grip strength levels and body composition measurements of boxing athletes were evaluated. The mean of (VO2) max values of the participants were measured 44.17 ± 8.45. Also in correlation analysis, a high relationship was found at (VO2) max BMR; r = -750, p = 0.01 level between maximal oxygen consumption capacity and basal metabolic rate However, in oxygen consumption capacity and body composition variables, The negatively significant level relationships were found at levels of (VO2) max; body fat percentage (FM), r = -696, p = 0.05, lean body mass (FFM), r = -666, p = 0.05; body mass index (BMI), r = -763, p = 0.01). As a result, in this study, identification and relationship were determined about performance data in physical and physiological fitness parameters of tiny elite boxing athletes and a data about this age group was created in boxing athletes for future studies.

Achieving a high level of performance in sport results from a combination of many factors
In case of correlation analysis, a high correlation was found between maximal oxygen consumption capacity and basal metabolic rate at level of ((VO2) max, basal metabolism rate (BMR); r = -750, p = 0.01) (Table 3)
Among the studies conducted in the determination of physical and physiological performance data in different age groups, Atan et al (2013) determined that VC% value was found in the best swimmers (174.62), the second was found in wrestlers (137.54) In terms of pulmonary function tests they performed on a total of 350 participants, 50 sedentary athletes and 50 athletes from the branches of judo, athleticism, wrestling, taekwondo, table tennis and swimmimng who actively do sports in stars category in the 15–16 age group, and observed that the athletes have higher value respiratory functions than sedentary athletes (104.02) in both sports branches
Summary
Achieving a high level of performance in sport results from a combination of many factors. Each sports branch for high performance; requires to some physiological characteristics that should be more dominant according to intensity, frequency, duration, intensity, movement variety and the muscle groups used (Selçuk, 2014). In addition to these physiological features, the athlete has to perfect these features through exercises (Tatlıcı et al, 2018). The main purpose of the exercise; is to regulate the distribution of oxygen, to put the metabolic processes in the way, develop strength, endurance and improve muscle-joint movements (Tayar & Korkmaz, 2007) In this way, the physical and physiological structure of the athlete becomes more suitable for the conditions required by the branch and the fighting power is increased.
