Question 2

Another influential factor on punch snap is ??? and the ability to?? and ???? the appropriate muscle groups at the correct time.

Answer 2

muscle activation

contract and relax

Question 3

what are some training strategies to help with the snap

Answer 3

increasing maximal strength, availing of accommodating resistance methods, targeting core tension, and using punch-specific isometric hold variations.

Question 4

boxers need to increase what and why?

Answer 4

max strength to help increase the rate of force production. it is a main contributor to an effective punch

Question 5

From a practical perspective exposure to heavy loaded (85-95% 1RM) back squats and deadlifts require substantial tension to be generated through the core.

This frequent exposure to such high levels of tension will improve

Answer 5

mass around the trunk and contribute to higher levels of stiffness at the end range of punches.

Question 6

true or false
Partial range lifts offer a great way to really overload the core often with loads exceeding 100% 1RM whilst minimizing any inherent injury risk associated with such high loads.

Answer 6

true
