Abstract

The researcher attributes the overall improvement observed in the sample under study to a decrease in the level of muscle tension in the muscles working on the joint as a result of muscular activity due to the use of effective exercises and appropriate motor exercises, as these exercises help improve blood circulation and increase muscle strength, thereby enhancing neuromuscular coordination and increasing the speed of muscle fiber contraction. They also assist in increasing the delivery of oxygen to the tissues and enhancing the removal of muscle waste resulting from metabolism. Consequently, the exercises led to strengthening the muscles and increasing their endurance.
And In light of the research objective and within the scope of its procedures, the following conclusions have been reached:
1- The proposed program has led to a reduction in the level of pain among the sample under study.

2- The program has proven effective, as the results showed a positive change in levels of muscle strength, flexibility, agility, and balance for the better after the application of the program compared to the previous pre-application measurements.

3- The proposed program has contributed to alleviating the symptoms of growth center inflammation in young females.
