Effect of Training Program on Physical Variables of College Level Kabaddi Players

Abstract

This study examined the impact of the 8-week structured training program on the physical variables-speed, agility, lower limb strength, and upper body muscle of college-level male kabaddi players (average age = 21.2 ± 2.1 years). Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 15), which received special training and a control group (n = 15) that continued with regular practice. Pre-and subsequent intervention was assessed using standardized field tests. Statistical analysis using desciptive analysis and paired t-test. Conclusions highlight the effectiveness of sports-specific training programs, designed a scientifically designed in increasing physical performance among competitive kabaddi players. This study underlines the need for structured interventions at the state level to bridge the gap of elite performance.
