Abstract: The purpose of the study was to determine statistically significant differences between the indicators of striking techniques, performed by qualified Muay Thai athletes of different weight classes, using specialised tests. Material and research methods: the data from special and scientific literature were analysed, which determined the relevance of the subject matter and the availability of research in similar types of combat sports. A practical experiment was carried out using the Hykso portable strain gauge diagnostic tool in three specialised tests. The method of mathematical statistics was applied. Results: the advantage of lightweights over middleweights lies in the greater manifestation of the velocity component in the form of a starting force in the range between 50 and 100 ms. Conclusions: to develop an efficient training process for the improvement and implementation of speed-power potential with a clearly defined order of priority in striking techniques by weight classes, as well as to elaborate technical and tactical schemes and combinations in competitive activity, with the aim of increasing the efficiency of the latter.
