The study investigates the impact of sports aggression on the game performance of Kabaddi players (boys) at the high school level. The research utilized a descriptive survey method, focusing on a sample of 45 Kabaddi players (boys) aged 14-17 from various high schools in Vijayapur District, Karnataka. The study employed purposive sampling to select participants, who were evaluated based on their game performance and sports aggression using a coaches-rated scale and the Sports Aggression Inventory (developed by Anand and Prem Shankar Shukla), respectively. The study posed two primary hypotheses: (1) No significant relationship exists between sports aggression and game performance of Kabaddi players and (2) No significant difference in game performance is observed among Kabaddi players in different play positions (Raiders, Defenders, and All-rounders) Statistical analyses included the Coefficient of Correlation to examine the relationship between sports aggression and game performance and One-way ANOVA to assess differences in performance and aggression across different playing positions. LSD’s Post Hoc Test was used for further analysis of significant differences. The significance level was set at 0.05. This study aims to provide insights into how sports aggression affects the performance of Kabaddi players and whether playing position influences aggression and game outcomes. The findings could have implications for training and coaching strategies in Kabaddi.
