Abstract
The researcher carried out the current study to identify the effect of motor improvisation on percentage of concentration of adiponectin and osteocalcin hormones, some related physiological variables represented by pulse, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, vital capacity, percentage of fats, body weight, body mass index (BMI) and some physical variables represented by muscular strength and vertebral column flexibility in elderly obese women. The research used the experimental method of one experimental group design and the sample included (10) women of (65 to 75) years and of medium obesity after excluding (5) women one of them was suffering from discard in mitral valve and another had difficulty in breathing. After making the pre-measurements a woman was suffered from a broken, another passed away and the other leaved the house with her relatives. The average weight of the sample individuals was 86.30 kg. The experiment was applied to the sample for (12) weeks by four lessons/week and each lesson lasted (90) min. After applying the motor improvisation program, the researcher has previously selected for this age as it was varied (walk, run, jump, turns, regressive movements and swings). It was suitable for this age that tends to express internal emotions together with varied and interesting music that helps encourage and suspense elderly people in performing exercises without feeling boredom and to ease tension featuring this age as well as discharging potential power freely. The results showed that motor improvisation was positively effective on adiponectin and osteocalcin hormones by 9.77% and 17.75%, pulse by 3.77%, systolic and diastolic blood pressures by 6.30 % and 1.86%, vital capacity by 6.29%, percentage of body fat, and body weight by 27.85% and 10.63% the level of blood cholesterol by 22.05%, muscular strength and forward vertebral column flexibility by 65.09% and 200.47% in elderly obese women as there were significant differences between the pre and post-measurements in physiological and physical variables. Also, there were percentages of improvement indicating that the motor improvisation program included several constituents contributed to find out such differences in favor of the post-measurements.
