Key result
Exercise training lowers resting heart rate by ~8 bpm versus control in collegiate boxers.
Why the study?
The effects of continuous training and interval training on heart rate among college level men boxers were not well established.
Does continuous or interval training reduce resting heart rate in college-level men boxers?
RCT (n=90)
Simple random procedure
No
Does continuous or interval training reduce resting heart rate in college-level men boxers?
A 12-week program of either continuous or interval training significantly lowers resting heart rate in college-level male boxers.
May lower resting heart rate in male boxers; leaves open generalizability to clinical populations or outcomes.
The objective of the present study is to identify the effects of continuous training and interval training performances on heart rateamong college level boxers. Methodology:Twelve weeks of continuous trainingwas studied with constant- heart rate procedure and constant-time procedure.Twelve weeks of interval training was studied.ANCOVA statistical analyses have been used to analyses the performance and outcome of the men boxers and Scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find out the mean difference of confidence continuous training and Interval training. Result:The submaximal-performance effects on heart rateF-ratio at 0.05 level of confidence for 2 and 87 (df) =3.06, 2 and 86 (df) =3.06. Significant is better than control group.

Girinathan et al. (2025) conducted an RCT in Healthy athletes (college level boxers) (n=90). Continuous training and interval training vs. Control group was evaluated on Resting heart rate (MD -7.41, p=<0.05). Twelve weeks of continuous training and interval training significantly reduced resting heart rate compared to a control group among college-level male boxers (mean difference -7.41 and -8.17 beats/min, respectively).
