Abstract

ABSTRACT

The research aimed to identify the effect of a proposed educational sports program on improving the level of nutritional awareness and health-related fitness components among students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Sebha University. The research sample consisted of 15 students who were intentionally selected from the research population. The experimental method was used through a one-group experimental design, with pre- and post-measurements applied to the nutritional awareness scale and health-related fitness component tests.

The results showed statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-measurements in the level of nutritional awareness and health-related fitness variables, namely body composition, musculoskeletal fitness, and cardiorespiratory fitness, in favor of the post-measurement. The percentage of improvement ranged from 9.57% to 69.67%, which indicates the positive effect of the proposed educational sports program.
