The relationship between visual ability assessment and competitive boxing performance in female amateur boxers.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: The relationship between visual abilities and punching performance has received considerable attention in sports science, but research on female amateur boxers remains limited. This study investigates the correlation between visual‑motor abilities and punching performance in female amateur boxers. Methods: A total of 26 trained female boxers participated in the study, and their visual abilities were assessed using the Senaptec Sensory Station. The visual ability tests included measures of visual clarity (VC), contrast sensitivity (CS), depth perception (DP), perceptual span (PS), multiple object tracking (MOT), reaction time (RT), eye‑hand coordination (EHC), and Go/No‑Go (GNG). Punching performance was analyzed by evaluating the hit percentage (%Hit) in the National Boxing Championship. Results: Pearson correlation analysis showed that punching accuracy (%Hit) was strongly correlated with EHC, RT, PS, and DP. Stepwise regression analysis confirmed that these visual abilities significantly predicted punching performance, with EHC, RT, PS, and DP explaining 93.1% of the variance in %Hit. Discussion: The results highlight the significant role of visual motor abilities in enhancing the punching performance of female boxers. The study suggests that training programs targeting these visual abilities, especially EHC, RT, and DP, could improve boxing performance. This research provides valuable insights into the role of vision in female boxing and suggests future directions for visual training in combat sports.
