Background
Kabaddi, a traditional team sport originating from South Asia, offers a unique combination of physical, tactical, and cooperative elements that can enrich the physical education curriculum in higher education. However, its implementation in Indonesian university settings, particularly among Physical Education students, remains limited.
Objectives
This community service program aimed to introduce and implement basic Kabaddi training to enhance physical competence, teamwork, and cultural awareness among students of the Physical Education Department at Universitas Syiah Kuala.
Methods
The program was conducted through a series of workshops, practical training sessions, and simulation games over a two-week period. A total of 40 students participated. Data were collected using pre- and post-activity questionnaires, field observations, and performance assessments focusing on motor coordination, teamwork, and understanding of Kabaddi rules.
Results
The results showed a significant increase in students' knowledge of Kabaddi (average improvement of 65%), improved physical coordination, and enhanced engagement in team-based physical activities. Participants also expressed enthusiasm and interest in incorporating Kabaddi into future teaching practices.
Conclusion
The implementation of basic Kabaddi training effectively introduced students to a culturally rich and physically engaging sport, enhancing both their practical skills and pedagogical perspectives. This initiative demonstrates the potential of Kabaddi as an innovative alternative in physical education programs in Indonesian universities.
