Abstract
The aim of the study was to analyze the relations of cognitive processors and conative regulators with specific motor
abilities of elite boxers. Three sets of variables including 3 cognitive and 6 conative variables as predictors, and 6 specific
motor (boxing) variables as criteria were used in a sample of 92 boxers. A series of regression analyses between the set of
cognitive variables and particular criterion variables revealed a predominant impact of serial processor on specific motor
abilities based primarily on specific speed (frequency of boxing technique performance). The series of regression analyses
also showed a predominant negative impact of dysregulation of the organ function regulators from the set of conative
variables on the manifestation of specific motor abilities in boxers. The data obtained in the study were used to develop an
alternative model of the motor – cognitive – conative processes in boxing.
