The aim of research is to find out the relationship of motor fitness variables with playing ability of inter-college Kabaddi players. For this purpose, sixty college Kabaddi college players affiliated to Bangalore University those who have represented inter-college level tournaments, Karnataka were randomly selected as subjects. The age of the elected subjects were ranged from 18 to 25 years. The Motor Fitness variables such as speed, explosive strength, cardio respiratory endurance and flexibility were taken into consideration for the present investigation as independent variables. The Overall Playing ability was assessed by touching skills, kicking skills, foot work, catching skills, movement in chin, defensive skills and tactics studied as dependent variable. Speed was tested by 50 M Run, explosive strength was tested by standing broad jump, cardio respiratory endurance was measured by 600 yards Run/Walk Test and flexibility was assessed by sit and reach test. The Karl Pearson’s Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation was used to examine the relationship between variables. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level of confidence. The playing ability was connected with motor fitness variables of speed, explosive strength, cardio respiratory endurance and flexibility. The said motor fitness components are most important for development of playing ability of Kabaddi players.
