Effect of SAQ training with resistance training on balance and quickness among kabaddi players

Abstract

The main aim of this study is to find out the effect of SAQ training with resistance training on balance and quickness among Kabaddi players. To achieve the purpose, 24 Kabaddi players were selected from Thoothukudi District Kabaddi clubs and their age ranged from 18 to 24 years. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups with 12 subjects each namely experimental and control groups. Experimental group underwent SAQ training with resistance training programme for a period of 12 weeks. Balance and quickness were selected as dependent variables. The dependent variable balance was measured by stroke stand test and quickness measured by hexogen test. Pre and post-tests randomized control group design was used as experimental test. The collected data from the subjects were analyzed with the dependent t- test and analysis of covariance. The level of significance 0.05 was fixed. It was concluded that balance and quickness had significantly improved due to 12 weeks of SAQ with resistance training and control group didn’t produced any changes on balance and quickness. Experimental group differed with control group while improving the selected dependent variables.
