Abstract :
The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship of anthropometric and physiological variables to Kabaddi playing ability. To achieve the objectives of the study four anthropometric and four physiological variables were selected as independent variables and playing ability as dependent variable, which was assessed through subjective rating by three experts during the tournaments. Forty men Kabaddi players took part in the Tamil Nadu Physical Education and Sports University Inter-Collegiate Kabaddi tournaments in the 2013-2014 sessions were selected as subjects. Pearson's product moment correlation (Zero order) was used as a statistical tool to find out the result of the study and significant level was fixed at 0.05. The result of the study reveals that the selected anthropometric variables of height, weight, arm length and leg length and the physiological variables of resting heart rate, breath holding time, and vital capacity were significant relationship with Kababdi playing ability and only respiratory rate was not significant relationship with Kabaddi playing ability.
