Do boxers use tredmills much?

[tyger]

Often when training where the weathers bad, treadmills are a training fighter's best friend. Who wants to go out and run in the snow and ice early in the morning?

emmanuel steward once said jermain taylor would stay in his room and run on the tredmill instead of doing road work with the guys.

Well I guess that explains why he's been KOed in the 12th round in his last two fights

put this in training and nutrition section for real answer. Most the guys in here never been in a boxing ring before.

Treadmills certainly are more 'joint friendly'... but the mental side of running long periods is not exactly simulated on a treadmill... though more importantly is the balance necessary to run outside (not on a track), complex motor coordination comes from distance running, as well as obvious cardio benefits... the balance coordination helps the adaptability of fatigued/tired fighters... those adaptational benefits are important... air/wind resistence, etc. cannot be simulated on a treadmill...
