Abstract
Background and Study Aim: The expansion of sports for women has served as an impetus for new research in martial arts. The aim of this study is knowledge about the influence of a 12-week training program developed to meet the menstrual cycle effects on special physical fitness, technical and tactical actions and heart rate variability indicators among female muay thai athletes.
Material and Methods: The study involved 28 female muay thai athletes with a regular 28-day menstrual cycle. They were divided into experimental (aged 20.79 ±1.93 years) and control groups (aged 21.07 ±1.38 years), engaging 14 persons each. The experiment was conducted during which the athletes of the experimental group were trained for 12 weeks by a training program designed to meet the menstrual cycle of women. The indicators of special physical fitness, technical and tactical actions in controlled sparring, heart rate variability indicators before and after the experiment were determined in female athletes of both groups.
Results: The differences in indicators ranged from 11.45 (p < 0.05) to 29.64% (p < 0.01). The analysis of intergroup differences of technical and tactical action indicators showed that after the experiment the number of strikes delivered was significantly higher among women of the experimental group by 9.76%, the ratio of attacking and defensive actions by 11.76% and 12.47% respectively, and the ratio of combat efficiency by 12.63% (p < 0.05). In the experimental group compared to the control group athletes, 16 out of the 17 analyzed parameters of heart rate variability changed significantly after 12 weeks of the experiment, during which the women were trained under different programs.
Conclusions: We determined the positive influence of a 12-week training program developed to meet the menstrual cycle on the indicators of special physical fitness, the number of strikes, the coefficients of attacking and defensive actions, the effectiveness of combat actions during sparring, as well as the heart rate variability indicators of female muay thai athletes. We are recommending this program for female muay thai athletes.
