ABSTRACT

Physical fitness is one of the most important indicators of adults’ health and low mortality. The mastery of cognitive physical fitness and the methods of its application may help in improving performance. The need to engage this concept in sporting activities for both genders becomes vital for the value and benefits that reap through it. This study aimed at identifying the cognitive level test of physical fitness for female employees of the Hashemite University. Using a descriptive design, 135 female employees were surveyed by a questionnaire which consisted of (39) items testing the cognitive level of the university's faculty and staff. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Arithmetic means and standard deviations were also applied to measure the cognitive level in physical fitness. Three-way ANOVA was used to analyze the effect of the independent variables (scientific qualification, experience, job title) on the knowledge outcome of female employees. The results revealed that there was no statistically significant effect of the independent variables on the cognitive results of female employees, because their true significance levels were (0.324, 0.76, 0.379) respectively. Hence, all of them were greater than the real significance level (α≤0.05), which indicates a lack of significant differences in these variables. Accordingly, the researchers recommend establishing special ladies’ facilities to increase sport activities, and conducting more special courses to develop the elements of fitness, including wider segment of female employees
