Material and Methods:  In the study, 13 recreation students insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(age 19.04±8.15 years, weight 66.75±6.85kg, height 175.46±4.44cm); were participated . First of all, the height and weight measurements were taken, and then biceps diameter measurements were done to participants. After anthropometrics measurements, a standard 15-minute warm-up protocol was applied before the measurements followed by tests. Lastly standard 30 seconds push-up test, passive bar hang, right and left hands reaction time were applied to participants. Basic boxing training was given to the volunteers for a total of 2 hours per day in a week for 12 weeks. After the 12-week boxing training program, the second measurements were made under the same conditions again and recorded.  Results:   The result of the study is that it was found that there was a significant change in some parameters of the individuals who did boxing training 1 day a week. A significant difference insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05); was found in the right biceps’ diameter of the group and the reaction time of the right hands of the group. Only a significant difference in the right arm was seen, it can be caused the majority of the group was right-handed.  Conclusion:   12-week boxing training period was increased the number of push-ups and passive bar hanging times.
