Kabaddi is an Indian team sport that needs high endurance, good motor, and sensory skills, and neurological, cardio-respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems. The motor skills focus on good speed, agility, coordination, strength, and sudden variations in paces. The present study aims to investigate the effects of fartlek training to improve endurance capacity in university male Kabaddi players. It is a clinical trial that is randomized, controlled, and uses a 12-minute walk/run test as a measurement tool to assess endurance ability. 50 male Kabaddi-1 players were chosen, and the control and experimental groups were split equally. The statistical analysis was carried out utilizing Paired and Unpaired T-tests as a result of the substantial difference in endurance (p-value 0.0001). Male Kabaddi players that participate in fartlek training have improved early endurance, improved recovery, and delayed early tiredness.
