GB boxers utilise innovative software package

There are high hopes of the Great Britain boxing team ahead of the London Olympics, but the team itself is refusing to leave anything to chance. Consequently, the team has turned its attention to cutting-edge technology in a bid to win gold in 2012.

Using a complex computer system, the team is having its training performance measured and, in particular, the number and type of punches thrown during an individual session. Robert Gibson, the Performance Analyst at the English Institute for Sport, is the man responsible for the innovative training tool, known as iBoxer.

Developers of the system explained that it is able to record a wide range of data, including cumulative punches, punch efficiency and time between punches. "iBoxer builds the boxers' confidence that they can defeat their opponent," Mr Gibson told the BBC.

"Five years ago when I first started, we had videos all over the place in hard drives, laptops, desktops. What iBoxer has enabled us to do is pool all that information together into one central location that's easily shareable with the rest of the team."

The database contains an impressive amount of information on as many as 20,000 boxers worldwide and the Great Britain team is confident that it will give them a useful competitive edge when the competition gets underway in a few days' time.

"We'll maybe look at an opponent when he's losing, to figure out why and how he lost. We can look at one where they've won and look at their preferred punch, where they concentrate their efforts," Mr Gibson added.

"It enables us to triangulate different scenarios, to piece together a picture of the opponent, and from there develop a plan."

Ultimately, though, does the outcome of a fight not come down to physical resilience and skill?ADNFCR-1785-ID-801419560-ADNFCR
