Objective: This study aimed to systematically review the available evidence on the effects of boxing interventions on people with Parkinson disease.
Methods: Four electronic databases were searched systematically from their inception until December 2023. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database and Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies scales.
Results: A total of 13 studies were included. Data synthesis indicated that participants who performed boxing programs did not have a significant effect in the polled data on functional mobility, balance, motor symptoms, gait and cardiorespiratory fitness Accordingly, for the effects of boxing on self-reported quality of life, the polled data showed a non-significant trend towards improving Hedges' g. Also, when the analysis was performed by comparing the experimental and control groups, the results remained non-significant.
Conclusions: The evidence regarding the use of boxing as a program exercise for patients with Parkinson disease remains uncertain. Preliminary findings indicate that participation in boxing does not demonstrate a substantial impact on either physical or mental health outcomes.

This study explores the impact of state and trait anxiety on perceived stress in athletes in high-risk sports, focusing on the mediating role of cognitive reappraisal and the moderating effect of sports psychological skills. Data were collected from athletes in sports like Boxing, Sanda, Mixed Martial Arts, Freestyle Skiing, and Ski Jumping. The analysis, conducted using the PROCESS macro revealed that both state and trait anxiety significantly predict perceived stress (β = 0.

4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) is a crucial herbicide target in current research, playing an important role in the comprehensive management of resistant weeds. However, the limited crop selectivity and less effectiveness against grass weeds of many existing HPPD inhibitors, limit their further application. To address these issues, a series of novel HPPD inhibitors with fused ring structures were designed and synthesized by introducing an electron-rich indazolone ring and combining it with the classical triketone pharmacophore structure.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) remains incurable and its prevalence is increasing as the population ages. Although physical activity is considered a therapeutic treatment to slow the progression of the disease, it is considered to be an effective non-pharmacological adjuvant to medication to improve the symptom management.
Methods: The training program was offered for all the participants (N = 50) in three non-consecutive sessions per week for 60 minutes and a total duration of 12 to 16 months.

Older adults with cognitive frailty often have impaired dual-task walking and prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation. Combining cycling with interactive boxing offers an innovative and interesting dual-task training to challenge both physical and cognitive skills. This study investigated the effects of interactive boxing-cycling on this population.
