Abstract
Boxing athletes must control their emotions and themselves, and regulate their aggressiveness to prevent harming themselves during matches . The purpose of this study was to show whether emotional maturity and self control affect the aggressiveness of boxing athletes. This type of research is correlational. The sample used is boxing athletes from the Special Region of Yogyakarta (n = 65, age 14-22 years) and the subjects have participated in boxing competitions. Sampling was done by nonprobability consecutive sampling. The emotional maturity scale is based on Singh and Bhargava, self control refers to Averill, aggression refers to Buss and Perry (1992). Data analysis was aided by ANOVA (F-test) and t-test. Results. Boxing athletes who will conduct games should receive support to conduct matches in a sporting manner to help athletes regulate their emotions and avoid aggression. For future researchers, it is hoped that they will be able to discuss more about the psychological aspects of boxing athletes, because this research is only limited to the influence of emotional maturity and self control on aggressiveness in boxing athletes.

E. Kamińska, S. Porzucek, M. Wiernicka, M. Goliwąs, J. Lewandowski – Functional assessment of movement patterns in selected martial arts and sports contestants, using the test Functional Movement Screen™. FP 2016; 16(3); 42-49

Abstract
Purpose of this study. Functional Movement System™ is a concept created by Cook and Burton, that allows functional evaluation of movement patterns. The purpose of this study was to compare movement patterns in contestants of the three sports disciplines, determination of weak links in the cinematic chain.   Additionally, it was attempted to determine which motor organ is most exposed to incorrect movement patterns in contestants of individual disciplines.
Material and methods. In the study evaluation included movement patterns of 60 contestants that train box, judo and kickboxing by means of FMS™, including 20 women and 40 men, at the age from 18 to 30 years. The investigated persons were divided in three groups, where qualification criterion for each group was type of trained martial art or sport and training seniority.
Results. Difference between boxers, kickboxers and judokas were observed only within individual movement patterns. Their global quality was comparable for all persons.
Conclusions. Final results of FMS™ test were not statistically significantly different due to type of trained martial art or sport. In judokas it the most asymmetry was during individual tests, as many as 30% of investigated receive the lowest average result in FMS™ tests, that suggest implementation of corrective training. The areas that were most exposed in boxers and kickboxers appeared to be spine lumbar section and shoulder joint area, and in boxers only spine lumbar section.

Key words:
injury prophylactics, FMS™, box, judo, kickboxing
