6th December, 2024: India is all set to host the historic inaugural Kho Kho World Cup, scheduled from January 13th to January 19th, 2025. To prepare for this landmark event, the Kho Kho Federation of India (KKFI), in collaboration with the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports (MYAS), will conduct an intensive training camp at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi from December 10, 2024, to January 11, 2025.
The camp will feature 60 male and 60 female players showcasing their skills, supported by 6 coaches, and other support staff and 6 physiotherapists. Players from across India will gather in the national capital on December 9, and final squads for the World Cup will be selected based on their performance during this rigorous training phase.
KKFI believes that “the key to transformation from excellence to, podium lies in taking care of every aspect of players’ development”. Thus, to ensure world-class preparation, the federation is leaving no stone unturned—offering top-notch facilities, high-intensity training sessions and recovery programs, accordingly creating meticulously planned diets catering to every individual players’ requirement, psychological evaluation under the guidance of the country’s best coaches.
The training program also integrates cutting-edge sports science technologies to optimize player performance and health.
InBody 770 Body Composition Analyzer
It offers players precise data on body composition, segmental muscle mass, visceral fat, and hydration levels. This information will allow coaches to tailor training programs and dietary plans for each athlete. Additionally, Whole Body Phase Angle analysis will be used for cellular health and recovery monitoring, ensuring players remain at peak fitness.
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) techniques
The camp will also employ BIA for detailed muscle balance assessments, along with posture and flexibility analysis to reduce injury risks. These scientific tools will be complemented by real-time 3D body scanning technology to measure segmental circumferences, ensuring uniform muscle development and posture correction.
Whole Body EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) Training
One highlight of the camp is the integration of Whole Body EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) Training, a revolutionary method that activates more muscle fibers than conventional training. This technology provides efficient muscle toning, fat loss, and rehabilitation, allowing athletes to achieve rapid improvements without joint strain. EMS sessions will also aid in recovery by alleviating muscle pain and stiffness.
Shri Sudhanshu Mittal, KKFI President, expressed his excitement: “We are thrilled to bring the Kho Kho World Cup to Indian soil. This training camp is a golden opportunity for players to prove their mettle and be part of a truly historic moment. With a keen eye on talent, our dedicated coaches will help shape the squad for this global event.”
Shri M.S. Tyagi, General Secretary of KKFI, added: “This training camp, supported by SAI and MYAS, is a cornerstone of our World Cup preparations. With 120 players training under expert guidance and cutting-edge facilities, we are confident in building a formidable team. We are immensely grateful to Shri Sudhanshu Mittal for his unwavering support in making this vision a reality.”
As the countdown begins, excitement builds for this grand celebration of a sport deeply rooted in India’s cultural fabric. Stay tuned for updates as the nation gears up to host the world’s best Kho Kho players and showcase the sport on an international stage!
