Abstract

The aim of the research was to identify the relationship between physical fitness elements and overall muscular balance, as well as their contributions among female students in the basic stage of proficiency academies and international schools in Jordan. The descriptive method was used on a sample of (139) female students aged (9-12) years, from proficiency academies and international schools in Jordan. A set of tests was applied to select physical fitness elements to determine their relationship with overall muscular balance, and their contribution among the basic stage female students (fourth, fifth and sixth grades). The following statistical tests were used: (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, percentage, Pearson correlation coefficient, regression analysis). The research concluded that physical fitness elements play an important role in providing overall muscle balance among female students in the basic education stage, which contributed to achieving balance with high percentages among the basic stage female students. Based on these results, the researchers recommend directing the attention of workers in the basic education stage to consider the physical fitness elements that have been identified, and achieved results in the process of overall muscular balance within the physical education curricula for the basic stage students. It is also necessary to conduct research on the same physical fitness elements for different age groups of female students the significant, as well as conducting research on male students and finding differences between them.
