Abstract

The research aimed to identify the effect of using symmetrical training with unilateral muscle work in achieving a balance of cerebral control in boxers (the research sample), some physical variables, and the level of skillful performance of punches from the traditional and opposite ready position for the right-handed boxer. The experimental approach was used for one experimental group, and pre- and post-measurement was chosen. The research sample was randomly drawn from the boxing players in the July 23 Club, and their number was (12) boxers, representing (46.15%) of the total research community. The most important results were that The symmetrical exercises with unilateral muscle work had a positive effect in achieving the balanced integrative pattern of cerebral control for the boxers in the research sample, as well as improving the level of physical abilities by comparing the results of the physical tests for the pre-measurement and the post-measurement under study with percentage improvement rates that ranged between (28.39%: 70.09%) and in favor of the post-measurement. The level of skill performance of the puncher improved from the traditional and opposite readiness pose under study with percentage improvement rates amounting to 26% from the traditional readiness pose, and 46.6% from the opposite readiness pose, in favor of the post-measurement. Also, a balance was achieved in the level of skill performance of the puncher between the traditional and opposite standby pose, and in favor of the post-measurement.
