Training Methods of Mixed Martial Artists
Shelli Vicars
Abstract
Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a sport that brings together several talented combat athletes from an array of backgrounds. It is also known by the following names: extreme fighting, reality fighting, and ultimate fighting. Ever since the sport of mixed martial arts began, athletes have come to recognize that the training for this form of fighting is comprehensive in nature.
A study was conducted on self reported training methods of mixed martial arts athletes. The study gathered information regarding overall training volume, supplemental use, and specific exercises used. The information gathered will be used to make conclusions about the knowledge of mixed martial art athletes about exercise training methods specific to their sport and the safeness of their supplement use.
