The medical question

Which mental-health needs require better recognition and support for fighters?

The Fight Medicine Research Institute uses this evidence to frame questions about a fighter’s psychological health, access to support and health after competition. The study’s population and assessment methods determine which questions it can inform.

Summary

Boxers reported their moods before and during the first COVID-19 lockdown. Boxers and coaches also described strategies used to manage mood during disrupted training.

What the abstract reports

  • 44 boxers and 14 boxing coaches took part during the first COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom. Boxers rated their mood during lockdown and, from memory, their mood before it.
  • Boxers reported a large increase in anger, confusion, depression, fatigue and tension, and lower vigor, during lockdown.
  • Close contact between coach and boxer and a sense of progress in training were described as helpful ways to manage mood.
