A training program using CROSS FIT exercises in some physiological variables and body mass index for female students

Abstract

The aim of this research was to identify the effect of using cross-fit training on some functional variables and body mass index (BMI) among female students. The researchers used a quasi-experimental approach due to its suitability to the nature of the research. The research sample consisted of 16 female students from the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Mosul. The researchers used a quasi-experimental design with an experimental and control group, with pre- and post-tests. The researchers used testing and measurement as means of collecting information. The researchers used the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Wilcoxon test, and effect size as statistical methods. The researchers concluded that cross-fit training improves physical fitness and maintains body weight. The researchers recommended the use of cross-fit programs to develop some physical characteristics for male and female players in various activities, as well as their use with obese people for weight loss
