Abstract
Kabaddi is a sport of power, agility, and speed, demanding quick reflexes, tactical precision, and muscular endurance. While skill training is vital to game mastery, incorporating resistance-based conditioning offers a pathway to improved performance and injury resilience. This thematic paper presents a training protocol that combines resistance exercises and sport-specific skill drills to holistically develop kabaddi players. Emphasis is placed on functional movement, integrated load-bearing during game situations, and performance-focused progression. Thematic sections highlight the sport’s physical demands, resistance training principles, skill development techniques, and the synergistic benefits of combining both. The paper proposes a structured 8-week program designed to optimize physical and tactical efficiency, offering coaches and athletes an evidence-based, sport-specific approach to peak kabaddi performance.
Keywords: Kabaddi Performance, Resistance Training, Skill Drills, Motor Fitness, Sport Specific Conditioning and Functional Strength.
