Abstract

It is a multifaced performance analysis for the professional athlete preparing for the Muay Thai Championship
and a study level of the performance impact of intensive combined training. Material Method; One (1)
professional Muay Thai athlete who was 35 years old and 175 cm hight and weighted 85 kg participated in the
study. In our study, from versatile performance analysis, Anthropometric (Subcutaneous Fat, Environmental
measurements), Posture Analysis (Anterior-Lateral), Biomotor Tests (Strength (1RM), Aerobic Endurance (3000
m), Anaerobic Endurance FTP (3 min Load 1 min rest 3 Set), flexibility and physiological evaluations
(Heartbeat Counts, Lactate) tests were performed. Based on the multiple data obtained from tests, exercises were
applied to the determined zones for 4 weeks (3 training sessions 5 days a week, morning-afternoon-evening – 2
days a week). At the end of the four weeks, PRE-POST test values were compared this study. Our study resulted
positive changes in body subcutaneous fat ratio (I test = 8.17% II test = 7.90) from anthropometric tests, posture
analysis in circumference measurements, Strength (1RM), Endurance, Flexibility, FTP and physiological I test
and II test have been determined. Consecutive results based on the data we have obtained, believe that the
intensive combined training applied to the performance analysis positively affects the performance of the Muay
Thai athlete and the training periodization applied will bring about a perspective to those who will work in this
field.
