Abstract

Introduction: The largest and the most complicated joint in the body is the knee joint. Though it is a weight-bearing joint, structurally, this joint is weak. Therefore, various deformities, diseases, and injuries occur more at the knee joint.  Acharya has mentioned Janu Marma as Vaikalyakara Marma. The nature of individual defence and group offence in Kabaddi makes the players more prone to knee injuries. Methods: An observational study was conducted among 43 Kabbadi  players of Physical Education College and the Professional Kabbadi  Association. Data was collected based on assessment parameters. Results: The swelling was more frequent in most subjects. There were very few subjects with old injuries. A significant pattern of Khanjata was seen by gender in the injured Kabbadi  players. Conclusion: Injuries found in Kabbadi  players relate to the  Viddha Lakshanas of Sandhi Marma (here vaikalyakara Janu marma).
