Be muscular, be lean, be fast, be strong...
The perfect Kabaddi player is forced to push his body in opposing directions. Just like a short distance runner, he must rely on his fast twitch muscles to give him the 30 seconds of explosive strength he needs for a raid, but unlike the runner, he needs top be able to repeat his explosive performance over and over again as the match progresses. So what kind of muscle building and training is necessary to perfect the ultimate Kabaddi physique? The right answer is: It depends on how your body's muscle fibers are distributed.
The human body is naturally made to overcome physical challenges. By birth, we are all given the ability to perform different kinds of physical activities by virtue of having different kinds of muscles. Skeletal muscle is made up of bundles of individual muscle fibers called myocytes. Each myocyte contains many myofibrils, which are strands of proteins (actin and myosin) that can grab on to each other and pull.
This shortens the muscle and causes muscle contraction.
It is generally accepted that muscle fiber types can be broken down into two main types: slow twitch (Type I) muscle fibers and fast twitch (Type II) muscle fibers. Fast twitch fibers can be further categorized into Type IIa and Type IIb fibers.
Fast-twitch muscles can utlize glycogen directly from sugar to provide a fast and explosive amount of strength and speed without the need for oxygen, whereas red muscles need ATP created through an oxidative process to yield a steady and sustainable muscular performance.
The Kabaddi player needs to build the white muscles for the powerful raid but also have ample red muscle training in order for his body to sustain and endure the entirety of the match.
Beyond the endurance of the game, the weight of the player needs to provide solidity and balance duringe a defensive attack from the opposing teams stoppers. By volume a pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat.
The resultant Kabaddi physique would therefore yield a powerfull and muscle packed body, with as little fat as possible, to efficiently put on weight with minimum decrease in agility.
But why are some of the professional Kabaddi players seemingly often packing a large amount of fat on their bodies? The answer is in the strategy chosen by the player. As mentioned before, an increase in weight will provide an added amount of solidity and this benefit is easiliy attained by gaining weight via the diet of the player. Gaining weight through muscle is harder and, although it is arguably the better strategy for a Kabaddi player, it would often mean a long time in the gym with muscle building workout plan and nutritional guidance.
The Perfect Kabaddi Physique is attainable for all of us if the right amount of time, effort and nutritional planning is put into it. As the sport is already getting more and more recognition, new and emerging talent along with new fans of the game may find that attaining the Perfect Kabaddi Physique, will become a race to the stars!
