Abstract Background: Periodization is the process of organizing training programs and workout routines in a strategic way to reach peak athletic performance. Both off-season and in-season training are crucial for an athlete's development and performance. Off-season training is about growth and preparation, while in-season training focuses on maintaining gains and optimizing performance during competitions. Aim: The purpose of the present study was to find out the effect of traditional pre-season Kabaddi training on selected performance variables namely speed, agility, foot-tapping, Vo2max and visceral fat. Methods: A total of ten Kabaddi raiders were randomly selected from the Gandhigram Rural Institute (Deemed to be University), Gandhigram, Dindigul, Tamilnadu state, India. The selected subjects were undergoing traditional pre-season Kabaddi training for six days per week up to eight weeks. Training volume and load was changed after five weeks. Selected Kabaddi player’s visceral fat and performance metrics speed, agility, foot-tapping and Vo2max were tested before and after the experimental period by following standardized test 50yards, 10 X 4 meters’ shuttle run, foot tapping test and Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test respectively. The collected data were statistically examined by dependent 't' test. Results: Due to the influence of the traditional pre-season training significantly reduce visceral fat level and improve the Vo2max level significantly (P<0.05). Conclusions: Eight weeks of traditional pre-season training enhance the Kabaddi players’ straight line linear power are improved at the same time foot tapping control and change of direction ability are lagging.
Keywords Key words: Kabaddi, Pre-season training, visceral fat, performance metrics, speed, agility, foot-tapping and Vo2max.
