Abstract
Interval training is a widely studied method to enhance athletic performance by alternating periods of high-intensity exercise with periods of rest or low-intensity activity. This paper investigates the application of interval training strategies specifically tailored for kabaddi players to improve their physical fitness. Kabaddi is a contact sport requiring a unique blend of aerobic endurance, anaerobic power, agility, and strength. The effectiveness of various interval training protocols, such as
high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and sprint interval training (SIT), on enhancing aerobic capacity, anaerobic performance, agility, and overall physical fitness of kabaddi players is examined through a review of relevant literature and empirical studies. Practical implications for coaches and trainers in designing interval training programs that cater to the specific physiological demands of kabaddi are discussed.
Key words: Interval Training, Kabaddi, Physical Fitness, HIIT, SIT, Aerobic Capacity, Anaerobic Performance.
