Brief Summary

Most boxing injuries occurs over head and neck which leads to potentially acute or chronic head and neck injuries. Patients with whiplash injury has been reported, reflected by increased body sway and reduced ability to overcome challenging balance tasks. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the fitness and balance outcomes between the boxers and the control group, and boxers undergoing posterior-neck icing effects.

  • neck isometric strength in six directions

  • neck range of motion in six directions

Study Arms (1)

balance, neck isometric strength and range of motion

EXPERIMENTAL
Other: icing massage

Interventions
