DATA- DRIVEN ANALYSIS OF RAID PERFORMANCE IN KABADDI: INSIGHTS FOR PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION

This study uses a data-driven approach to examine raid performance in Kabaddi and identify the key factors that influence successful raids. Match statistics such as raid attempts, raid success rate, bonus points, defender patterns, and decision-making speed were analyzed to understand how raiders perform under different game situations. The findings show that successful raiders consistently demonstrate efficient footwork, quick directional changes, and strategic anticipation of defensive formations. Data also revealed that situational awareness and timing especially during do-or-die raids strongly affect performance outcomes. By highlighting these measurable performance indicators, the study provides valuable insights that coaches and players can use to design targeted training programs, refine tactics, and optimize overall raid efficiency in competitive Kabaddi.
