Abstract

The researchers conducted a study that aims to identify the effect of the three minor games programs (Floor Program, Aquatic Program, and Floor /Aquatic Program) on some immunoglobulin, interferon and physical variables for children (age group 8-11 years old.) And the best effect minor games. The researchers used the experimental method by using three experimental groups through pre and post measurements for each group, a purposive sample of (52) orphan children ranged in age from 8-11 years, were divided randomly into three groups; (12) children each, for a period of three months, (3) days per week., the most important results obtained is indicating that: the three minor games programs proved to induce positive effect on some immunoglobulin and interferon for children (8- 11 years old). The aquatic program is better than both, the floor program, and the floor- aquatic program. In enhancing the immunity system efficiency also, it has been proved that the three programs had different effect on the physical variables as the floor exercise has led to developing (arm muscles strength, agility, ankles flexibility, and abdominal muscles strength). On the other hand, aquatic exercise has led to raise (Cardiovascular endurance), while floor- aquatic exercise has improved (Leg muscles strength, Back flexibility, Shoulders flexibility, 30 m. speed running, and Back muscular endurance).
