Abstract

In the game of Kabaddi the most important task for the Raider is to be back to his half in 30 seconds. The player has to maintain chanting the word Kabaddi for the entire raid and at the same time try to touch the opponent and also avoid from getting caught. He requires great amount of Cardio Vascular Endurance for this and so the present study was conducted to find the effect of Anaerobic Training on the raid timing of the Kabaddi players. For the current study 24 club players from Pune who have played District championship and were aged 17 to 21 years were selected by Purposive Sampling method (non-parametric technique). The present study was a pre-test post-test experimental design. The Anaerobic training program was of 6 weeks and contained variety of exercises and activities. The timing of the raid was tested during the controlled raids. The pre-test and post-test paired sample ‘t’ test analysis shows that the ‘t’ value is -6.64 and the significant value is 0.00 which is significant at 0.05 level of significance. From the analysis it can be interpreted that the Anaerobic Training program has increased the timing of raid.

Introduction

Kabaddi is a team sport which has played by many in the Indian Subcontinent. The records of Kabaddi have been seen in ancient histories of India. The game started gaining popularity since 20th century. The Kabaddi Association and its members have been trying to make the game popular around the globe. The role of Pro-Kabaddi in gaining popularity has been crucial. Many individuals have started taking Kabaddi as profession and great professionalism into the sport has brought glamor and great economic benefits to players, administrators and others concerned. Many individuals are following the game and as stated earlier have started taking Kabaddi as their specialized sport.

The important skill in the game of Kabaddi is Raid. The players have 30 seconds in a raid and have to return in their half before 30 seconds. Many players have been using the 30 seconds to their team benefits, but the same is not the cup of tea for all. It is difficult for all players to maintain chanting ‘Kabaddi’ for the entire raid and at the same time try to out the opponent and also avoid from getting caught. Some players have been struggling to raid for 30 seconds and that is due to inadequate fitness. To overcome this problem the researcher decided to create an anaerobic training for Kabaddi Raiders and find the effect of the Anaerobic Program on Raid Timing of Kabaddi Players.

Objective

To find the effect of Anaerobic Training on Raid Timing of Kabaddi Players.

Methodology

For the current experimental study was conducted using a pre-test and post-test design. The sample for the current study were 24 club players from Pune who have played District championship and were aged 17 to 21 years. They were selected using by Purposive Sampling method (non-parametric technique). The Anaerobic training program of 6 weeks was prepared and implemented on the subjects. It contained variety of exercises and activities to improve Anaerobic Training. The training included sprinting for short distance (High intensity interval Training), shuttle runs, side shuffles, skipping, high knee and buttock kicks.

Analysis & Results

The timing of the raid was tested during the controlled raids. The comparison between the pre-test raids and post-test raids were done using the Paired Sample ‘t’ test and the pre-test and post-test analysis is given in table 1.

Table 1

Descriptive and Comparative Analysis of the Raid Timing of Kabaddi Players

From the table 1 it is clear that the mean of Raid Timing in pre-test and post-test is 26.95 seconds and 28.91 seconds respectively and the standard deviation is 4.35 and 5.36 respectively. The comparative analysis shows that the ‘t’ value is -6.64 and the significant value is 0.00 which is significant at 0.05 level of significance. From the analysis it can be interpreted that the Anaerobic Training program has increased the timing of raid.

Discussion:

From the study conducted it is clear that the Anaerobic Training provided by the researcher has proved to develop the Raid Timing of the Kabaddi Players. The Raid timing has increased after the training provided. Training has always been helpful to improve the selected factor and here the Anaerobic Training have helped to improve the raid timing. The achieved results are for selected group and similar studies can be conducted on larger group to generalize the results.
