KINETIC-CHAIN TRANSFER FROM GENERAL POWER DRILLS TO PUNCH PERFORMANCE IN 11-14-YEAR-OLD FEMALE BOXERS
Abstract
The article develops a kinetic-chain transfer matrix for improving the connection between general power exercises and punch-specific performance in 11-14-year-old female boxers. The central idea is that speed-strength training becomes effective only when the athlete can move from support, through pelvic and trunk rotation, to arm acceleration and rapid defensive return. The study uses theoretical analysis and pedagogical modeling to organize general drills, bridge drills and boxing-specific drills into one applied sequence. The model emphasizes short high-quality repetitions, age-sensitive progression, technical feedback and transfer checks through the Boxing Force mobile application. The proposed transfer matrix can help coaches avoid a common methodological error: increasing general power indicators without improving the punch action itself.
