If you are FIGHT training ...
You should be on HIGH ALERT for infections.
Common infections caused during Muay Thai training = blisters on the feet, elbows, knees, knuckles, shins, mosquito bites, ingrown toe nails, tooth cavity.
If you fight while your body is fighting an infection, your energy will drain quickly & before the end of the 2nd round you will be drained of energy & S.O.L (Shit Out Of Luck).
The infections in the photo's above went un noticed intill they started to become inflamed & NASTY. 1 - 2 weeks of training can easily be lost while you wait for a simple infection to clear up.
Pay Attention !
In the high humidity of the Tropics a small scratch on the skin can get infected & turn NASTY very quickly. (ANY cut of the skin should be treated with iodine antiseptic, even blisters from running can get nasty quickly if not treated with iodine.
Once an infection sets in, you will need to take oral antibiotics to get rid of it, that will cost you 1 - 2 weeks of low energy & NO training while you wait for the infection to clear.
If you find your self getting fatigued quickly & slow to recover from training then the chances are you will have one or multipule infections some where on your body. Your body devotes a HUGE amount of its energy reserves towards fighting an infections. Your energy levels will drain VERY quickly during training & recovery from exercise will be painfully slow. CHECK your body for any cuts on the skin or early signs of infection.
Apply iodine Antiseptic to ALL cuts & blisters.
Iodine Antiseptic is available @ any Pharmacy in Phuket for approx 30 Thai baht
If you are training with a Polar heart monitor then you would have noticed an increase in your heart rate by approx 20 bpm above your normal exercising heart rate. Your increased heart rate will be noticeable 1 - 3 days before an infection becomes noticeable to the eye. If your listening to your body then you will detect infections and deal with them before they become a problem.
# Want a heart rate monitor
but unsure which model to buy ?
The basic model F1 - F2 is best & most simple to use.
They work well in the water (good for swimming)
Available at most sports shops @ a costs of approx $90 Australian.
