Abstract

the effect of a program of extracurricular sports activities on some physiological variables for middle school students



The research aims to identify the effect of extracurricular activities on some functional abilities (resting pulse rate - blood pressure rate - aerobic fitness), and some physical abilities (endurance - agility - flexibility - speed - strength). The researcher used the experimental method using a pre-test design of two experimental and control groups. The research sample was chosen for the intentional method. It was selected from female students of the Modern Preparatory School for Girls in the academic year (2023 AD/2024 AD), and their number reached (60) students, and they were divided into (20) students in an experimental group, (20) students in a control group, and (20) students in a control group. ) A student in an exploratory group, and the extracurricular sports activities program was implemented for 8 weeks, with 2 activities per week, with a total of 16 activities، The results resulted in statistically significant differences between the two post-measurements of the control and experimental group in the functional variables (resting pulse rate - blood pressure rate - aerobic fitness) in favor of the experimental group, and also in the presence of statistically significant differences between the two post-measurements of the control and experimental group in the physical variables (endurance - agility - Flexibility - speed - strength) in favor of the experimental group.
