Sports rehabilitation classes for war veterans are ongoing at the Donetsk State University of Internal Affairs as part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs project “Friendly Support”.
A regular training session was conducted by master of sports, Intercontinental World Boxing Champion, senior lecturer at the department of special physical and pre-medical training of the DonSUIA Stanislav Merdov.
The participants practiced punches: straight, side, and uppercuts. They help develop reaction speed and accuracy, help improve balance and coordination, and strengthen core muscles. Special attention was paid to working in pairs, which allows for the development of team interaction.
In addition to physical training, boxing plays an important role in psychological rehabilitation of war veterans. It helps relieve emotional tension, increase self-confidence, and overcome stressful situations.
