Abstract

Introducción: el entrenamiento físico que integra elementos culturales tradicionales, como el Krabi-Krabong, puede ofrecer beneficios tanto físicos como cognitivos.

Objetivo: esta investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar las respuestas electromiográficas (EMG) durante las técnicas de Mai Ram y golpeo de Krabi-Krabong desde la perspectiva de la fisiología del ejercicio, y comparar las respuestas fisiológicas entre estudiantes de la provincia de Buriram que recibieron entrenamiento en Krabi-Krabong y aquellos que no.

Metodología: el estudio se realizó en dos fases: la primera examinó las respuestas EMG durante las técnicas de Krabi-Krabong; la segunda desarrolló y evaluó los efectos de la instrucción en Krabi-Krabong en clases de educación física. Participaron dos grupos: el primero, 16 estudiantes universitarios expertos en Krabi-Krabong, para el análisis EMG; el segundo, 50 estudiantes de secundaria, divididos en un grupo control (educación física estándar) y un grupo experimental (entrenamiento en Krabi-Krabong), con sesiones semanales de 50 minutos durante 12 semanas. Las evaluaciones incluyeron pruebas de condición física y pruebas cognitivas informatizadas.

Resultados: los resultados del primer estudio revelaron la activación de grupos musculares específicos durante 12 secuencias de Mai Ram y 5 técnicas de golpeo, lo que demuestra el uso completo del cuerpo en Krabi-Krabong. El segundo estudio mostró mejoras significativas en la condición física del grupo experimental, incluyendo fuerza del tren superior, resistencia cardiovascular, resistencia muscular de las piernas, fuerza de manos y antebrazos, equilibrio estático y habilidades en Krabi-Krabong. Además, el entrenamiento mejoró las funciones ejecutivas como la flexibilidad cognitiva, el control inhibitorio, la atención y la creatividad, con todas las mejoras estadísticamente significativas al nivel de .05.

Conclusiones: el entrenamiento en Krabi-Krabong mejora significativamente la condición física y la función cognitiva en estudiantes.
