Predict the Predominant Factors of Kabaddi Playing Ability from Selected Physiological Components among Women Players

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to predict the women kabaddi playing ability from the selected anthropometrical, physical and physiological components among college level players. To achieve this purpose of the study, one hundred women kabaddi players were selected as subjects from the affiliated colleges of Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli. Those who represented their respective college teams were taken as subjects. The age of the subjects were ranged between 18 to 25 years. The playing ability of the women kabaddi players was taken as the performance factor, which was subjectively assessed by three qualified coaches. The physiological variables such as resting heart rate, breath holding time, systolic blood pressure, diastolic and blood pressure were selected and it was measured by radial pulse method, manual nostril clip method, digital blood pressure monitor and digital blood pressure monitor respectively. To determine the relationship between dependent variable and independent variable Pearson product moment correlation was used. In all the cases 0.05 level of significance was fixed. It was concluded that the selected physiological parameters such as breath holding time, systolic and diastolic blood pressure have significant influence over kabaddi playing ability of women kabaddi players. However, resting hear rate was not significantly correlated with kabaddi playing ability.
