Aerobic and Anaerobic conditioning
(Speed and Power Training)
Punching and kicking Thai pads and heavy bags at various intensities allows for both types of conditioning.
- Aerobic conditioning (speed training) is achieved by working with Thai pads at high reps with 30-40% maximal strength.
- Anaerobic conditioning (power training) is obtained by working with shields and heavy bags at 80-100% maximal strength
Cardiorespiratory Endurance (Stamina)Continuous punching and kicking of the Thai pads and heavy bags at various intensities improves cardiorespiratory endurance.
Fat Loss
Participation in kickboxing classes with the aid and guidance of a proper nutritional diet plan would initiate weight loss and achieve appropriate body composition. (Besides, the intensity of the workouts would keep your calories burning a few hours after your class!)
Muscular Strength and Endurance
Thai pads and heavy bags act as resistance to replicate the effects of resistance training experienced in weight training.
Flexibility
Practicing and perfecting the ability to execute powerful movements and combining them with stretching sessions greatly improve your body’s flexibility and suppleness.
Agility, Balance, Improving Motor Skills and Co-ordination
Hitting and kicking Thai pads and heavy bags accurately and on target improves motor skills and hand-eye co-ordination. Executing punches and kicks while the body is in motion improves agility and balance.
