Abstract

The study aimed to identify the effect of cross-training on body composition, bone mineral content, and maximum muscular strength among athletes. (15) Athletes carried out Cross-Fit training for (8) weeks, and the researcher used the experimental method. With a single-group design and repeated measurement, the results of statistical analysis using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) showed that there were statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α≥0.05) between the repeated measurements, on the variables (body mass index (BMI) and fat mass ( FM), and the maximum muscular strength of the legs), while the results did not show statistically significant differences in bone mineral content, the results showed an improvement in bone mineral content (BMC), amounting to (2.85%). The researcher recommended the necessity of using cross-training, especially during the player preparation stages, because of its impact on body composition and muscle strength.
