Resumen

Introducción: El muay thai es un arte marcial de cuerpo entero que requiere fuerza, equilibrio y control motor; sin embargo, la evidencia escolar sobre activación muscular y efectos del entrenamiento es limitada.

Objetivo: Analizar la actividad eléctrica muscular (electromiografía) durante el Wai Khru, 15 técnicas Mae Mai y 15 técnicas Luk Mai, y comparar respuestas fisiológicas entre estudiantes de secundaria de Buriram con y sin instrucción de muay thai.

Metodología: Estudio en dos fases. Fase 1: electromiografía en 15 estudiantes entrenados para elaborar el contenido. Fase 2, 50 estudiantes en grupo control (instrucción convencional) o experimental (muay thai), 25 por grupo, una clase semanal de 50 minutos durante 12 semanas. Se evaluaron rendimiento cognitivo (batería informatizada) y condición física antes y después; se analizaron diferencias entre grupos.

Resultados: El Wai Khru activó principalmente el vasto lateral, el deltoides medio, el tríceps braquial, el flexor cubital del carpo, el bíceps femoral y el dorsal ancho; las técnicas Mae Mai y Luk Mai involucraron predominantemente el bíceps braquial además de esos músculos. Tras 12 semanas, el grupo experimental mostró mayores mejoras en equilibrio, fuerza muscular, resistencia del core, resistencia cardiorrespiratoria, funciones ejecutivas y creatividad que el grupo control.

Discusión: La electromiografía indicó una participación corporal integral durante Wai Khru, Mae Mai y Luk Mai, y la instrucción de muay thai se asoció con mayores mejoras físicas y ejecutivas.

Conclusiones: La instrucción de habilidades de muay thai mejora el desarrollo fisiológico y cognitivo integrado en estudiantes de secundaria.
