Abstract: The purposes of this study were to compare activity profiles and the time-motion analysis between the winner and the loser of professional Muay Thai fighters in the 5x3 minute matches with 2 minutes rest. Eight lightweight contestants aged between 17 to 25 years, height 168 to 178 cm., and weight 135 to 140 lbs. were the professional Muay Thai fighters during the 29th ISUZU Muay Thai Tournament at Siam Boxing Stadium. The video footage of the offensive and defensive techniques were analyzed to create an activity profile. All 5x3 minute bouts lasted the full duration for all subjects, without taking knockout into consideration. Data were statistically analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and one-way analysis of variance with repeated measures. Multiple comparisons were performed using the Bonferroni method. All tests used the 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that the number of swing punches was higher in winners than losers (p < 0.05) in round 3. The number of round kicks was higher for winners than losers (p < 0.05) in rounds 1 and 5. The number of straight footthrusts was lower in winners than losers (p < 0.05) in rounds 1 and 2, but higher in round 5. The effort to pause ratio (E:P ratio) indicated that Muay Thai has a greater pause duration than effort duration. The effort duration showed an increasing trend (p < 0.05) in rounds 2,3,4, and 5 than in round 1; while rounds 3 and 4 indicated the highest effort for winners and losers. Overall, there were no significant differences between winners and losers in the E:P ratio data. In conclusion, the winners displayed more defensive and offensive techniques than the losers. Powerful offensive techniques such as swing punch and round kick were also displayed more by winners with greater accuracy than losers. The swing punch and round kick were highlighted as strategically significant techniques for the winners. From the study, the data suggest that the complete activity profile and E:P ratio information are important to the technical-tactical preparation of Muay Thai fighters for the professional level.
