RELATIONSHIP OF SELECTED PHYSICAL VARIABLES WITH RAIDING PERFORMANCE OF KABADDI PLAYERS

Abstract

The aim of this study was to find out the relationship of selected physical variables with the raiding performance of male Kabaddi players (raiders). Twenty inter-college level male kabaddi players were selected for this study by purposive sampling technique from Punjabi University, Patiala. The age of the subjects was ranged between 18-25 years. Selected variables: speed was measured by 50-meter dash and agility was measured by shuttle-run test. Descriptive statistics and Spearman rank correlation test was employed by ‘SPSS Version-23’. The results showed that there was a significant relationship of speed and agility variables with the raiding performance of male kabaddi players (raiders).
