Impact of Muay Thai Training on Body Composition in Overweight Adults: A Quasi-Experimental Trial
This quasi-experimental trial investigated the effectiveness of a 12-week Muay Thai training program on body composition and participant satisfaction among overweight adults in Bangkok's Sai Mai district. The study targeted individuals aged 25–45 years with a Body Mass Index (BMI) > 25 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, characterized by sedentary lifestyles. Sixty participants were purposively allocated into experimental (n = 30) and control groups (n = 30). The intervention group engaged in structured Muay Thai sessions (60 minutes, 3 times weekly), emphasizing cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility exercises, while the control group maintained their daily routines.
