Lower Limb Performance, Balance and Coordination Differences Between the Muay Thai Athletes and Recreational Bodybuilders

January 11, 2021 updated by: Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare balance, coordination and lower extremity functional performances of Muay Thai (MT) athletes and bodybuilders (BB).

Method: Seventeen athletes (14 men and 3 women; mean age: 20.65 + 2.34) engaged in MT and 18 (13 men and 5 women, mean age: 25.89 + 4.83) engaged in BB were included in the study. The Flamingo Balance Test and Y Balance Test were used to evaluate static and dynamic balance, respectively. Coordination was assessed using the Hexagon Test. Lower extremity functional performance was evaluated using the Single Leg Hop Test.
