SAQ training is an effective training program for improving the physical aspects of kabaddi players. This research aims to investigate the effect of SAQ training on the speed and weight of Pakistani kabaddi players.” This study highlights the effects/ impact of 12 weeks of SAQ training on physical abilities like speed and weight among the male elite kabaddi players. Experimental research methods were used. The data was collected using experimental pre/post-intervention for 12 weeks. Twenty-20 male Kabaddi players from Punjab Kabaddi Association Pakistan were selected for the study with an age range from 22 to 27 years. The selected participants were randomly assigned into two equal groups (control group & experimental group) of 10 participants from each group. Group I underwent SAQ training/experimental, and Group II acted as a control group without any training program. The 20m dash test was used to measure the speed of the participant. The results show significant improvements in agility values pre and post-intervention in the experimental group, the pre-speed value was (M 3.431 =, SD = .188353) to post-speed (M = 2.868, SD = .123720; t (10) = 8.802, p =.000 < significant level = 0.05) and weight of the EG group (M = 77.800, SD = 7.612855) to post-weight (M = 73.200, SD = 6.338594; t (10) = 8.493, p =.000 < significant level = 0.05). The overall results show significant improvement in speed and weight. Based on the results, there is a significant effect of 12 weeks of SAQ training on the speed and weight of Pakistani kabaddi players. Moreover, the SAQ training program has an effective and positive impact on developing the speed, agility, and quickness skill performance of male kabaddi players. It is recommended that the Pakistan Kabaddi Association provide maximum chances to the kabaddi players and apply the SAQ training program regularly to improve the selected parameters like speed and weight.
