PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE AND PHYSICAL EFFICIENCY, EFFECTS OF VARIED RESISTANCE TRAINING AMONG COLLEGE LEVEL WOMEN KABADDI PLAYERS

Abstract

Sports have emerged as representation of skill, playfulness, competition, psychological processes, and strategic components.  Kabaddi is a traditional contact sport with ancient Indian roots that that has gained widespread recognition. Sports training uses resistance training exercises, which are highly popular these days, to help women kabaddi players perform better. To encourage improved performance in sprinting and jumping competitions, efficient training techniques are being used. Resistance training is an excellent method to encourage gains in local muscular endurance, strength, power, and size. This study aimed to examine the psychological resilience and physical efficiency, effects of varied resistance training among college level women kabaddi players. Forty participants were divided into EG (n = 20) and CG (n = 20).  The subject’s age ranged between 19 to 21 years. Two groups will be randomly selected from among the 40 subjects. Group I receives resistance training (Experiment Group), and Group II serves as the control group (CG). A twelve-week training program was organized following the players' completion of the pre-test, and a post-test was administered to determine the players' strength. Using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), data on a few physical fitness, and psychological characteristics were gathered from the three groups both before and after the experiment. For every variable that was chosen, the mean and standard deviations were determined. The researcher employed Schaffer's post hoc test to determine whether group was superior if the "F" ratio was determined to be significant. The experimental analysis of post-training of EG showed significant improvements in physical measures when compared to CG, which shows minimal changes.
