It Contributes About 19 Pc To Sport's Development: Paralympic Champion Navdeep Hails PKL's Impact On Kabaddi
Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex: Paralympic javelin throw gold medallist Navdeep Singh emphasised how the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) has helped transform the Kabaddi from primarily a rural sport into a professional spectacle.
"Since PKL's entry, the standard of the game has risen significantly," Singh said. "Sports science has played an equally important role, and I believe PKL contributes about 19% to the sport's development," he added.
Singh, who played as a defender during his school days, spoke about the intense physical demands of the sport. "In kabaddi, there's a higher risk of injury because when one raider goes in, three or four players can apply force at once," he explained, underlining the importance of proper fitness and conditioning in the modern game.
