Abstract

This study examined the differences in speed, agility, and flexibility among urban, semi-urban, and rural women kabaddi players. A sample of 150 participants was selected using a purposive sampling technique. The physical variables of speed, agility, and flexibility were measured using standardized protocols, and the data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results revealed significant differences in all three variables among the different groups. Rural kabaddi women players displayed higher speed, agility, and flexibility compared to both semi-urban and urban kabaddi women players. Additionally, semi-urban kabaddi women players exhibited better performance in these physical attributes than urban kabaddi women players. These findings suggest that environmental factors associated with living in rural areas may contribute to the observed differences in physical capabilities among women kabaddi players. Further research incorporating additional variables and factors is recommended to gain a more comprehensive understanding of performance disparities in women's kabaddi.
