Effects of a Muay Thai Championship on Neuromuscular Parameters and Their Relationship with Competitive Outcome: A Pilot Study

: An official Muay Thai bout induces marked acute neuromuscular fatigue affecting both upper and lower limbs, with greater impairments observed in non-winning athletes. The ability to maintain lower-limb explosive power under fatigue appears to be associated with competitive success. Simple neuromuscular assessments such as CMJ and RPU may be useful tools for monitoring fatigue, guiding tactical decisions, and informing post-competition recovery strategies in Muay Thai athletes.
