Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of Kalari Adimurai training and closed kinetic chain training on agility and defensive skills among inter-collegiate Kabaddi players. To achieve this purpose of the study, forty male kabaddi players were selected at random to study for a bachelor's degree in the Department of Physical Education, AVVM. Sri Pushpam College, (Autonomous) of Physical Education, Poondi, Tanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 and 23 years. They were divided into three equal group: the Kalari Adimurai training group (Group I), the Closed Kinetic Chain (CKC) training group (Group II), and the control group (Group III). Groups I and II underwent their respective training programs for three days per week for twelve weeks; they did not undergo any special training programs apart from their regular physical education curriculum. The control group did not go for any training. All the subjects were tested prior to and after the experimental treatment periods on selected criterion variables related to physical fitness. The following physical fitness variables, such as agility and ability, were selected as criterion variables: Agility was assessed by an Illinois Agility Test (IAT), and ability was assessed by a judge rating scale used to measure the performance of defensive skills. All the subjects in the three groups were tested on selected criterion 17 variables prior to and immediately after the training program as pre- and post-tests. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant difference, if any, among the groups on each selected criterion variable separately. In all the cases, a.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the significance, which was considered appropriate. There was a significant difference among the Kalari Adimurai training group, the Closed Kinetic Chain (CKC) training group, and the control group on physical fitness variables such as agility and ability.
