Examples of the main physical activities.
Parts of the training session | Cardioboxing | Cross-training |
Warm-up | A progressive warm-up was proposed with boxing moves, athletic moves, and running in order to prepare participants for the sequences of the session. | A progressive warm-up was proposed in circuit on each exercise without any weights and then with weights, fitting the level and skills of each participant. |
First part | Participants were in pairs and started either with gloves or punching pads. They then changed places. They performed the sequences with a fixed work time and rest time. | Participants were invited to choose an exercise to start the circuit. They then performed each exercise with a fixed work time and rest time. |
Second part | A new sequence and a new fixed work time and rest time was proposed, with either the work time increasing or the rest time decreasing. | Jumps, slamball shots, or mainly cardio exercises were proposed as a challenge in the remaining time. The main goal was to achieve the highest number of repetitions possible. |
Mobility and flexibility | Participants were invited to either use foam rollers combined with mobility and flexibility exercises or to relax with Jacobson progressive muscle relaxation. | Participants were invited to either use foam rollers combined with mobility and flexibility exercises or to relax with Jacobson progressive muscle relaxation. |
