Brief Summary
|
The K-COM (Kabaddi
Complex) training protocol was developed to enhance lower-limb explosive
strength and power in kabaddi raiders, aligning with the sport’s neuromuscular
demands such as sprinting, rapid deceleration, and multidirectional single-leg
landings. This study aims to investigate the effects of the K-COM training program on neuromuscular adaptations, performance outcomes, and injury
risk indicators in kabaddi athletes. Current hypothesis is that the intervention group will have significantly greater neuromuscular activation and performance.
