Data and laboratory results are utilized as covariant. Relative changes in the data obtained are analyzed by SAS package program and by utilizing PROC MEANS procedure. Significance level of changes observed is specified by Paired t test that adds significance at the level of P<0.05. Statistically significant increase is observed in the glucose levels of boxers as one of the blood parameters before and after the match (P=0.0014). Decrease in the insulin levels is determined before and after the match, however it is not found statistically significant (P=0.1059). It is observed that cortisol levels have increased before and after the match, however it is not considered statistically meaningful (P=0.0534). Decrease in the urea levels is determined before and after the match, however the difference is not found statistically significant. (P=0.5837).
