Abstract:
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare the physical fitness and anthropometric variables of Kabaddi and Kho-Kho players. Pro Kabaddi league and ultimate kho-kho league have given a different status of Indian indigenous games.
Material and Method: For this study Twenty-six (26) female (thirteen players of each game) junior-level players were chosen randomly from the Kabaddi and Kho-Kho academies of Jind and Surrounding areas. The age group of the subjects ranged from 14-17 years. The minimum playing criteria for the subjects was participation in the State level games in any age group. To find out the difference in the anthropometrical and Physical fitness variables between Kabaddi and kho-kho players their height, weight, sit and reach, standing, broad jump, and shuttle run measurements were computed using standardized tools and equipment. For the statistical analysis T-test was used employed. The level of significance was set to 0.05.
Results: The results of the study signify that there is no significant difference in the physical fitness variables of speed, strength, and endurance but there was a significant difference in the anthropometrical components of height and weight between Kabaddi and Kho-Kho players.
Conclusions: It was concluded that the Kabaddi players showed a higher mean weight scale because the game is strength dominating and the player’s weight is according to the weight category; however, there is no such weight category limitation in the game of Kho-Kho.
