The study was carried out on 12 female subjects, in ages between 19 and 23yo, who are actively engaged in the boxing branch. The subjects were divided into two groups, each consisting of 6 people, as Constant Resistance (CR) and Wavy Resistance (WR). The average age of CR group was 21.33±0.81 years, the average height 169.67±2.06 cm, and the average body weight 65.28±8.95 kg. The average age of WR group was 21.16±0.75 years, the average height 173.50±3.27 cm, and the average body weight 65.56±3.19 kg. In the study, the exercise of resistance band was made by all subjects four days a week for 6 weeks between the hours 9.00-10.00, boxing training for competition period between the hours 18:00–20:00 in evenings. In CR group, the bands in the same color and resistance were used by the method of the black band constant, resistance, in WR group, the bands in different color (red, blue, black) and resistance by the wavy method. Before training, the body weights, and the levels of anaerobic power and MBP levels of both groups were determined. The same measurements were repeated six weeks later. In the statistical analyses of the data obtained, in determining the differences between in-group test and the final test, Paired-sample t-test was used. In determining the difference between two groups, pretest and final test, independent samples t-test was used. The significance between differences was determined at the level of P<0,05. As a result; as a matter of fact, it can be said that the constant resistance method of CR group is more effective than the wavy resistance method of WR group. Hence, conducting the studies of resistance band that Copyright © The Author(s).

The physiolgical profile of elite amateur boxers (Joko 1983, Ghosh et al 2010, Guidetti et al 2002, Smith 2006, Khanna and Manna 2006) and analysis of the techniques and training in amateur boxing (Kravitz et al 2003) have been studied. One sport that may be categorized within the multiple repeated high-intensity exercise domain is that of boxing. Typically, a modern day boxing match will consist of a predetermined number of rounds, each lasting 3 minutes while separated by a 1-minute seated recovery (World Boxing Association 2016). Help support the overall metabolic demands of a boxing match and to accelerate the recovery process between rounds, athletes of both sexes require a high level of cardiorespiratory fitness. International boxers show a high peak and mean anaerobic power output. Muscle strength in both the upper and lower limbs is paramount for a fighter's victory and is one of the keys to success in boxing. As boxing punches are brief actions and very dynamic, high-level boxing performance requires well-developed muscle power in both the upper and lower limbs. Albeit limited, the available studies reveal that isometric strength is linked to high-level boxing performance Chaabene et al 2015). Boxing has the sudden combined strokes; therefore, energy loss is at high level. In this respect, in boxing, it is understood that the importance of maximal force and anaerobic power. Boxing, due to its dynamic and static characteristics at a high level, has a complex structure and is among the fighting sports that require high level of power (Mitchell et al 1994).Therefore, it is important to investigate how resistance tires exercises affect maximal strength and anaerobic strength of athletes. Greater emphasis is now placed on the amateur boxer to perform more frequent repeated bursts of high intensity activity, especially the punch rate and dynamic footwork (Smith 2006). It will be seen Boxing coaches and practitioners, in order to establish the optimal training intensity, should recognize that the heart rate response is disproportionately high to the blood concentration level, during competition (Hanon et al 2015). Amateur boxers have been studied for competitive performance improvements over the past 2 decades, contributing to an increase in knowledge of the sport through the characterization of their physical and physiological profile. The fitness components include cardio-respiratory endurance, muscular European Journal of Physical Education and Sport Science - Volume 3 │ Issue 8 │ 2017 162 Oktay Çakmakçı, Mehmet Şefa Selçuk, Evrim Çakmakçı THE EFFECT OF RESISTANCE BAND TRAINING ON THE MAXIMUM FORCE AND ANAEROBIC POWER OF BOXERS strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Skill-related components include speed, agility, power, balance, coordination, and reaction time. Most combat sports require a mix of technique, strength, aerobic fitness, power, and speed. Usually, no single performance characteristic dominates in combat sports. Indeed, physiological responses, especially heart rates and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), recorded during competitive situations and blood lactate values recorded post contest consistently demonstrate differences between weight categories and combat rounds (Slimani et al 2017). Boxing consists of stand-up fist fighting and should therefore not be confused with other fighting styles such as kickboxing, Savate or French boxing, Muay-Thai or any other combat sport that allows the use of feet, elbows or knees to strike (El-Ashker and Nasr 2012, Chaabène ve ark 2015). To succeed in delivering a scoring blow and in return to avoid getting blows, boxers require welldeveloped technical-tactical skills and a high level of physical and physiological fitness.
