Therefore, the lower limbs, as well as the core muscles, are a significant part of the punching movement

4. Improves balance
Boxing is a movement-intensive activity. It involves coordinated footwork, developing reactive movement strategies to changing conditions, and the muscular strength.Boxing has been used as a method to treat Parkinson’s disease.
