Kabaddi, being a high-intensity sport, demands superior levels of upper body, core, and lower body strength for optimal performance during raiding and defensive actions. Fifteen university-level kabaddi players were selected and divided into two groups — an experimental group (loop band training) and a control group. The experimental group underwent a structured eight-week loop band training program consisting of progressive exercises focused on developing upper, core, and lower body strength. The control group continued their routine practice without additional training. Pre- and post-tests were conducted using the Dips Test (upper body strength), Plank Test (core strength), and Wall Squat Test (lower body strength). Data were analyzed using the dependent ‘t’ test. Results revealed significant improvements in all three strength parameters—upper body strength (t=5.68), core strength (t=9.62), and lower body strength (t=7.44)—for the experimental group, while the control group showed no significant changes. The findings confirm that loop band training effectively enhances muscular strength and performance attributes relevant to kabaddi. The program’s simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability make it an efficient method for improving athletic performance in team sports.
