The purpose of the study is to develop and theoretically substantiate an exercise aimed at developing punch stiffness in qualified boxers at the special preparatory stage. Research methods and organization. The study employed analysis and synthesis of data from literary sources, pedagogical observation; analysis of video recordings of training sparring sessions; expert assessment of the quality of punching actions; and methods of mathematical statistics. The research was conducted at the Department of Theory and Methodology of Boxing at the Lesgaft National State University of Physical Education, Sport and Health, St. Petersburg. The experiment involved boxers holding the qualifications of Candidate Master of Sports and Master of Sports, aged 18 to 22 years. The duration of the study was 4 weeks during the special preparatory stage. A specialized exercise using a punching bag and a wall-mounted pad was incorporated into the training process, aimed at improving the biomechanical structure of the punching action, developing speed-strength qualities, and the ability for short-term rigid fixation of the kinematic chain at the moment of impact. Research results and conclusions. As a result of applying the exercise, athletes demonstrated increased effectiveness of accentuated punches in sparring, improved sense of distance, and greater stability of punching technique at various combat distances. Most boxers reported better control of muscle relaxation before delivering a punch and increased confidence when performing attacking actions. Analysis of training activity revealed an increase in the number of hard accentuated punches and a reduction in excessive muscle tension when working on the bag and with a partner.
