Rollin with the Punches
Listed in ScienceDB
There is a growing push to treat mental health holistically and in a way that removes the stigma associated with traditional interventions.
Description
Existing research found boxing to be effective in improving mental health. However, none of this prior work has tested the effectiveness of a boxing-for-development intervention intentionally designed to treat mental health.
A sequential mixed-methods approach was adopted for our study. In particular, we employed a quasi-experiment that matched program participants (n = 69) to control group participants (n = 41) using propensity score matching, comparing outcomes that were measured via an online questionnaire. Processes and experiences of the program participants were captured through observations, participant interviews (n = 12), and administrator interviews (n = 3).

The program positively influenced 11 out of 14 mental health, social and emotional wellbeing, and physical health variables.
