Abstract
This research was to study and compare the force and velocity during roundhouse kick between arm swinging forwards and arm swinging backwards in professional Muay Thai. Seven professional top-level Muay Thai boxers participated in this study. All participants were assessed for the roundhouse kick on three levels (upper, middle and lower) of velocity during arm swinging forwards and arm swinging backwards.The force and velocity were measured during roundhouse kick. The data were analyzed statistically by using mean ( ), standard deviation (S.D.) and testing the difference of mean with paired sample t-test.
The result showed that the force of roundhouse kick with arm swinging backward at upper level and middle level were higher (p<.05) than that of the roundhouse kick with arm swinging forward. The velocity of roundhouse kick at three levels with arm swinging forward and arm swinging backward were not significantly different (p>.05).
