Detailed description

This cross-sectional study aims to identify sporting talents by profiling a group of young boxers residing in the State of Mexico. The primary outcomes encompass anthropometric, physical, and psychological variables associated with sports performance. In detail, a morphological and body composition analysis will be conducted using anthropometric data. Boxing performance will be assessed by measuring the average acceleration of straight punches over 6 seconds, impact force in the straight boxing punch using a load cell, reactive force index in a counter-movement jump on a force platform, maximum isometric strength in the mid-thigh isometric pull on a force platform, load-velocity profile in the squat exercise using a linear encoder, and cardiorespiratory fitness measured with digital spirometry. Psychometric variables will include well-being level calculated with PERMA+4, attention capacity, perceptual acuity, concentration using the Toulouse test, and coping mechanisms assessed through the coping modes scale.
