One hundred & thirty kabaddi players were selected through random sampling approach during the East Zone kabaddi tournament in the year 2012 and their age span was 17 to 27 years. Several measurements based on the above parameters were carried out on each individual. Height was measured through stature, weight was measured by weighing machine and leg length was measured by Lufkin Anthropometric Tape. The bio – motor abilities were measured using different testing procedure protocols. Agility was measured by 40- meter agility test; leg explosive power was measured by standing broad jump, flexibility was measured by sit and reach test, muscular endurance was measured by knee bent sit – up test, and muscular power was measured by the number of push – ups. The playing ability (dependent variable) was judged by three well qualified and experienced experts. Pearson “r” was used to determine the inter correlation among them and the regression model was used to predict the playing ability with respect to the above mentioned aspects at the 0.05 level of statistical significant. Results: 1) There were high Correlations existing between playing ability against Agility (r = 0.631), Explosive leg Power (r = 0.56), Muscular strength (r = 0.391) and Moderate correlations exist between playing ability versus Muscular endurance (r = 0. 271), leg length (r = .30), Weight (r = 0.221), Flexibility ( r = 0.19) and low Correlations exist between playing ability versus Grip Strength ( r = 0.121) and very low Correlation for height ( r = 0.087) with playing ability in kabaddi. 2) The presented Linear Regression Model equation is---- Playing ability of kabaddi = 4.032 + 2.41 (Leg Explosive power) -.453 (Agility) +.041 (Muscular strength) -.360 (Leg length). | | Keywords : | | - anthropometric, bio – motor abilities, kabaddi, muscular power .
