Assessment of Heart Rate Variability, Performance and Dehydration in Muay Thai Athletes
A study testing Specifical Functional Training Exercises in people with Nervous System Diseases and Dehydration, run by Centro Universitário Augusto Motta.
Trial summary
Known as "Thai boxing," Muay Thai utilizes a combination of upper limb strikes (such as punches and elbow strikes) as well as lower limb strikes (such as kicks and knee strikes), and is thus referred to as the "art of eight limbs." It is practiced worldwide and is a prominent discipline in many mixed martial arts… Read more about this study

About this study
Known as "Thai boxing," Muay Thai utilizes a combination of upper limb strikes (such as punches and elbow strikes) as well as lower limb strikes (such as kicks and knee strikes), and is thus referred to as the "art of eight limbs." It is practiced worldwide and is a prominent discipline in many mixed martial arts (MMA) training camps. In this sport, training load control involves monitoring and adjusting the quantity and intensity of training according to each athlete's capacity. In the context of combat sports, such as Muay Thai, heart rate variability (HRV) and assessment of body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis can be used as tools to evaluate training responses. Additionally, HRV can also serve as a tool for assessing recovery after training or competition. If HRV does not return to baseline after training or competition, it may be a sign that the athlete is not fully recovered and may need more time to recuperate before returning to training or competition. Due to the absence of studies in the literature that have assessed a possible association between HRV and dehydration and rehydration processes in amateur Muay Thai athletes, it becomes essential to evaluate this correlation. Given the growing interest in practicing Muay Thai in gyms, assessing the sympathetic-vagal balance, body composition, and performance of these athletes becomes of utmost importance. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between dehydration indicators, HRV parameters, and performance in the frequency speed kick test (FSKT). Participants will be assessed before and after an eight-week training program, conducted three times a week. Assessments will include resting HRV measurement and FSKT; in addition, bioimpedance will be used to estimate the body composition of participants pre- and post-training. It is expected that the results will reveal changes in HRV, performance, and body composition of the athletes after training.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Specifical Functional Training ExercisesOther
Strength Training: Include compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, lunges, and bench presses to build overall strength and muscle mass. Focus on functional movements that mimic the actions used in Muay Thai.
Core Stability Exercises: A strong core is essential for generating power and maintaining balance during strikes and defensive maneuvers.
Plyometric Training: Jumping exercises such as box jumps, squat jumps, and split jumps help improve explosive power and enhance muscular endurance, crucial for delivering swift and powerful strikes.
Flexibility and Mobility Training: Incorporate stretching exercises to improve flexibility, joint range of motion, and prevent injuries.
Interval Training: Perform high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions that combine cardiovascular exercises.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group Exercise | Experimental | 30 functional specific exercises for muaythai athletes. Nutrition Control HRV quantify. Receives: Other: Specifical Functional Training Exercises |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
HRV during specifical physical test
Measurement of HRV obtained during the FSKT protocol, pre and post-training of 8 weeks specific conditioning and strength for Muay Thai and nutritional intervention.
Measured: 1 year
Secondary outcomes (1)
Correlation with BIA analysis, HRV and Specific Physical Test
Based on the results obtained through the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) test, the existence of potentially significant correlations between these measurements and the activity of the autonomic nervous system, specifically sympathetic-vagal regulation, is being investigated, assessed through analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV).
Measured: 1 year
