Abstract

The study aims to know the effect of cross-training on each of the maximum oxygen consumption, the level of motor performance for aerobic gymnastics. As for the study approach, the researcher used the experimental approach by choosing one of its designs (pre-measurement - post-measurement) for one experimental group, due to their suitability to the nature and purpose of the study. The study is for female students of the fourth year, a training division specializing in artistic gymnastics for the academic year 2020/2021, who are enrolled in the College of Physical Education for Girls in Al-Jazirah, The researcher chose the sample of the study by the intentional method, as they numbered (59) students, whose ages ranged between (21-23) years, and (30) students who did not practice sports activities were selected (50%) of the study population, and they were divided into (4) students. To conduct the exploratory study and the number of (26) female students for the experimental group, The researcher used data collection tools (stopwatch to calculate time - a medical scale for measuring weight in kilograms - a rectameter device for measuring height - a medicine ball - a jump rope - agility ladder - jumping box - parallel bar (girls) - cones). The maximum oxygen consumption), and the training program (Cross Fit) had a positive effect on the level of motor performance of the aerobic gymnastics of the female players.
