| Summary: | This research aimed to analyze the electromyographic (EMG) responses during Mai Ram Krabi-Krabong and striking techniques from an exercise physiology perspective, and to compare physiological responses in students of Buriram province who received Krabi-Krabong training and those who did not. The study was conducted in two phases: the first examined EMG responses during Krabi-Krabong techniques, while the second developed and studied the effects of Krabi-Krabong instruction in physical education classes. The study involved two groups of participants. The first group in study 1 consisted of 16 university students skilled in Krabi-Krabong techniques, who participated in the EMG analysis. The second group in study 2 comprised 50 high school students, divided equally into a control group receiving standard physical education instruction and an experimental group receiving Krabi-Krabong training. Both groups participated in weekly 50-minute sessions for 12 weeks. Assessments included computerized cognitive tests, and physical fitness tests.
Results from the first study revealed the activation of specific muscle groups during 12 Mai Ram (16 sequences) and 5 striking techniques, emphasizing the full-body engagement of Krabi-Krabong. The second study found significant improvements in physical fitness, including upper body strength, cardiovascular endurance, leg muscle endurance, hand-forearm strength, static balance, and Krabi-Krabong skills in the experimental group. Additionally, Krabi-Krabong training enhanced executive functions in cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control, attention, and creativity, with all improvements being statistically significant at the .05 level.
