In boxing it requires significant anaerobic fitness, and runs within a well-developed aerobic system. Boxing is estimated to be 70-80% anaerobic and 20-30% aerobic. Boxing work, rest ratio is approximately 3:1. Where the nature of boxing requires athletes to sustain power at a high percentage (often above lactate entry, producing high levels of blood lactate leading to premature fatigue). The main aims of training for boxing are to delay the start of fatigue by increasing tolerance to lactic acid build-up, to increase stores of phospho-creatine to produce ATP, to delay the pre-mature use of the lactic acid system, to improve efficiency of oxygen use, and to improve recovery between intense bursts of activity.
