Boxing is a sport and, as such, its practice can be beneficial for both physical and mental health. However, various professionals and health organizations have concluded that it is not a recommended form of exercise, and some even advocate for its prohibition on health grounds. This study explores the basis of such recommendations through a narrative review of medical literature and ethnographic fieldwork. The analysis suggests the presence of bias in clinical studies that discuss boxing-related pathologies, as they often fail to distinguish between non-contact training, recreational boxing, amateur boxing, and professional boxing. The study invites further dialogue with ethnographic research and encourages the incorporation of its methods to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between boxing and health.
El boxeo es un deporte y como tal su práctica sería beneficiosa tanto para la salud física como mental, sin embargo, distintos profesionales y organizaciones sanitarias concluyen que no es un ejercicio recomendable o incluso recomiendan su prohibición por razones de salud. La presente investigación explora la base de estas recomendaciones desde un trabajo de revisión bibliográfica narrativa y un trabajo etnográfico. El análisis sugiere la existencia de sesgos en los estudios clínicos que al referirse a patología asociada al boxeo no distinguen entre práctica sin combate, práctica recreativa, amateur y profesional e invita a entrar en diálogo o incorporar técnicas de investigación propias de la etnografía para obtener una visión más completa de la relación entre boxeo y salud.
