Abstract

This study was conducted to determine and compare the kinematics of knee strike in MuayThai between dominant and non-dominant lower limb. Ten MuayThai beginners (mean age = 20 ± 1 years old) with less than one week experiences in MuayThai training were recruited and were asked to perform three trials of knee strikes for each leg (dominant and non-dominant). Joint angles and angular velocity of the movement were assessed for each trial. Repeated measure multivariate analyses of variances (MANOVA) were performed to compare the kinematics data between the dominant and non-dominant lower limb. Results showed no significant differences existed in all the joint kinematics examined between dominant and non-dominant lower limb. As the conclusion, MuayThai beginners demonstrated no differences of joint kinematics during knee strike between dominant and non-dominant lower limb.
