Prediction of predominant factors of kabaddi playing ability based on selected physiological variables among women rural area kabaddi players

This study's goal was to forecast the main elements affecting rural women kabaddi players' ability to play the game based on specific physiological characteristics. One hundred female kabaddi players from Madurai Kamaraj University's associated colleges were chosen as subjects for this study. The study only included athletes between the ages of 18 and 25 who played for their respective college teams. Three qualified kabaddi coaches subjectively assessed the participants' playing abilities, which was regarded as the performance variable. The physiological variables that were chosen were breath holding time and resting heart rate. The radial pulse method was used to assess the resting heart rate, and the manual nostril clip method was used to measure the breath holding time. To ascertain the association between the independent factors (physiological characteristics) and the dependent variable (playing ability), Pearson's Product Moment Correlation was utilised. The significance level was established at 0.05. The findings showed that whereas resting heart rate did not significantly correlate with playing skill, breath holding time had a substantial impact on the kabaddi playing ability of rural women.
