The sport equipment used in kabaddi includes simple, locally made products such as cotton jerseys, traditional dhotis or shorts, and bare feet playing on soil or mud courts. Many rural Indian villages still maintain natural mud courts where kabaddi is played following traditional rules and styles.
Indian manufacturers produce specialized kabaddi equipment including knee pads, elbow guards, and athletic wear specifically designed for this contact sport. Local brands like Nivia, Spartan, and Cosco have developed kabaddi-specific products that cater to both amateur and professional players across India.
The popularity of kabaddi has led to the growth of various Indian sports goods industries, creating employment opportunities and promoting traditional Indian manufacturing techniques while incorporating modern sports technology to enhance player performance and safety. |
