This paper presents the results of a study on the effectiveness of an experimental physical training programme for young boxers aged 13–15 years. The aim of the study was to develop, substantiate, and evaluate a physical training programme for boxers at the training stage. The research was conducted at the private boxing club “UPGRADE” in Moscow and involved male and female athletes aged 13–15 years. The training groups were characterised by differences in age, experience, and skill level, with novice and experienced athletes training together. To assess the effectiveness of the programme, participants completed a battery of ten standardised tests measuring general and sport-specific physical fitness. The proposed training methodology incorporated targeted exercises aimed at improving foot stiffness within the general physical training programme of young boxers. The findings demonstrated that the experimental programme contributed to improvements in the physical fitness indicators of the participants and may be recommended for use in the training process of young boxers. Following the implementation of the programme, positive changes were observed in all physical fitness indicators. The most pronounced improvements among girls were recorded in pull-ups (50%) and the 1000-m run (42.2%), whereas boys achieved the highest gains in pull-ups (43.5%) and push-ups (27.9%). The findings suggest that the proposed methodology can be effectively used in the training process of young boxers.
