Abstract

This study investigates the kinematics of the coach’s standing position during individual boxing training, focusing on the left-hand direct punch (jab). By analyzing the trunk's tilt and lateral flexion, this research identifies the biomechanical requirements that ensure the coach maintains a stable yet dynamic stance. The results demonstrate that a minimal anterior-posterior tilt and slight lateral flexion allow the coach to effectively observe and guide the boxer's movements without compromising balance or reaction time. The findings emphasize the importance of maintaining proper posture and small controlled movements to ensure optimal feedback and safety during one-on-one training sessions. This study contributes to enhancing the coach’s understanding of their own body mechanics while providing accurate training cues.
