The research aims to design a proposed training program using cross-training and to know its effect on :
1. The level of some physical abilities specific to gymnastics (muscular strength - ability - speed - flexibility - agility - coordination)
2. The level of skill performance on gymnastics equipment (floor apparatus - pommel horse - rings - vaulting table - parallel bars - horizontal bar)
Research method :
The researcher used the experimental method due to its suitability to the nature of the research by using pre- and post-measurement of one group.
The sample was chosen in a deliberate manner with (12 ) students (7) students as basic samples and (5 ) students as exploratory sample.
The researcher set some variables that may affect the research experience, namely (growth rates, "age, height, weight", athletic age.
In The light of the procedures and results of the research, the researcher has reached to the following :
1. The cross-training method had a positive effect on the special physical abilities of gymnasts, which are (muscular strength - muscle capacity - speed - flexibility - agility - coordination), and this effect was reflected in the level of skill performance.
2- The training program applied to the research sample showed that the organizational form of the training unit, which includes a group of different activities, devices, tools and exercises that differ from the basic activity (gymnastics), leads to creating a spirit of fun and gives an incentive to continue training with high efficiency,
