Yoga for Boxer :
It is well known that professional boxers can suffer from the “Punch drunk” syndrome. The skull is hit with a tremendous force which results in the brain being pushed towards the opposite side of the skull The result is that the brain gets hammered repeatedly between the two sides of the cranial cavity. In the long run the neurons waste away due to the chronic impact and the person suffers from slurred speech, uncoordination, gait disturbances, and dulling of intellect- a Parkinsonian complex.
The boxer though appearing healthy is overdeveloped in the upper body. The manner of crowding the hands close to the body prevents the muscles of the hands and torso from stretching. The hunch is often evident on the dorsal spine. Healthy breathing is hindered. The chest is constantly hunched pressing the intercostals muscles together. The abdominal muscles are over hardened creating a hard diaphragm. All the tissues are tight and inelastic. The muscles of the arch of the foot are under constant tension.
All asanas help the boxer. For the spine back bend postures take preference over forward bends. Asanas that provide proper extension of the arms, like hand stand elbow balance urdhva dhanurasana and dog pose are all useful. Uttanasana, dog pose, seated forward bends and head stand and shoulder stand along with viparita dandasana are very valuable to soothe the mind, the senses and the brain, disturbed by the constant pounding.
Pranayama with the head lifted on pillows in the supine position is to be practiced. Prolong exhalations are most important to relieve tension in the brain.
