The Ability to Recover from Training with 5 Minutes of Target Kicks Per Round Affects the Recovery of 3 Minutes of Target Kicks in Panchak Silat Athletes of the Thai National Team

Abstract

Background and Aims: The ability to recover from training is critical for Pencak Silat athletes because it allows them to improve performance, avoid injury, and maintain peak physical condition during rigorous practice. Effective recovery improves muscle repair, mental focus, and overall resilience, allowing for consistent progress in their martial arts discipline. Thus, the purpose of this study was to study and compare the ability to recover before and after training with target kicks for 5 minutes/round, which affects the recovery of target kicks for 3 minutes/round in Panchak silat athletes of the Thai national team, with pre-training testing by kicking a target for 5 minutes/round on 15 Thai national Panchak Silat volunteers.

Methodology: Before beginning the target kick test, volunteers were asked to measure their resting heart rate for three minutes each round. The mean and standard deviation were 83± 13.73 bpm. The test began with 5 minutes of target kicking per round, followed by 3 minutes of target kicking per round. The heart rate, mean, and standard deviation were measured. The heart rate was measured immediately after the kick (143.13 ± 24.20 bpm) to assess recovery after one minute. The mean and standard deviation were 104.66 ± 11.43 bpm. To practice, kick the target for 5 minutes per round on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 3 days a week, for 8 weeks. When the training is completed on schedule. Before the test began, the volunteers were asked to measure their resting heart rate. Their resting heart rate improved after 5 minutes of target kicks training. Mean and standard deviations. 81.66±12.37 bpm and the test began after practicing target kicking for 5 minutes/round with target kicking for 3 minutes/round and measuring the heart rate, the mean, and standard deviation immediately after the kick was 140.24 ±24.63 bpm. The heart rate was measured after 1 minute of kicking, with a mean and standard deviation of 101.46 ± 11.02 bpm. It was discovered that the heart rate of 15 volunteers from Panchak Silat athletes of the Thai national team recovered better after kicking.

Results: The study's mean and standard deviation revealed a comparison of recovery ability before and following training, with 5-minute rounds of target kicks influencing recovery during 3-minute rounds. In a sample of 15 Pencak Silat athletes from the Thai national team, a statistically significant difference in recovery rates was found at the.05 level.

Conclusion: The study's findings show a statistically significant difference in the recovery rate of Pencak Silat athletes before and after training, with target kicks lasting 5 minutes per round affecting their recovery during 3-minute rounds. This suggests that training intensity has a measurable effect on athletes' recovery abilities, as evidenced by a sample of 15 Thai national team athletes.
