Cardio exercises are aerobic activities in which the muscles use oxygen and glucose for energy, and they are called exercises to train the heart and blood vessels, as they increase the heart rate during exercise, and they deplete glucose in the body and begin to burn fat, because the body needs large amounts from oxygen to convert fats, carbohydrates and protein into “energy” and it has a key role in improving physical fitness and endurance, using several exercises that mainly increase cardio-respiratory activity that increases the body’s ability to burn calories. The research problem is: The impact of cardio exercises on functional variables because of their great importance in the program planning process. I noticed that there are a large number of people who do not exercise as required, which creates a clear weakness in their functional fitness. The research aims to identify: The effect of using cardio exercises on some functional variables for female students of the department of physical education and sports science. Imposing search: The exercises used have an effect on some functional variables for female students of the department of physical education and sports sciences. There are statistically significant differences between the pre and posttests in some functional variables and in favor of the posttest. The researcher concluded: The training program using cardio exercises has a positive impact on the functional variables under study. The researcher recommends: The necessity of using the training program using cardio exercises to improve some functional variables. (Published abstract)
