The effect of special exercises on some anthropometric measurements and weight loss for Gym Bank participants aged (20-30) years

Abstract

Sport plays a major role in a woman’s life and protects her from many diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, venous thrombosis, and other diseases. It also helps women maintain their strength and fitness and protect their bodies from sagging by reducing the increase in the percentage of fat and strengthening the body’s muscles. It works to improve the circulatory and respiratory systems, as sport has a major role in raising the body’s health and psychological efficiency. Hence the problem of the research came in the form of Iraqi women not exercising, which may be due to weak awareness of this important aspect or may be due to the lack of the appropriate time and place. In order for women to perform these exercises, the study also aimed to prepare special exercises and find out their effect on some anthropometric measurements and weight loss. The research population included female participants in the Gym Bank gym aged (20-30) years. The research sample, which numbered (12) participants, was Chosen intentionally.
The researcher also used a set of statistical methods to achieve the research objectives (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, median, skewness coefficient, T-TEST for correlated samples, and coefficient of variation), and the researcher reached a set of conclusions:
1- The special exercises prepared by the researcher had a positive impact on some anthropometric measurements and weight loss for female participants in the Gym Bank gym.
The researcher also recommended a set of recommendations:
1- The necessity of paying attention to special exercises and working to develop training curricula based on these exercises in the Gym Bank gym, because of their importance in developing anthropometric measurements and weight loss.
