The researcher used the experimental approach using the equivalent groups method. Therefore, the first-year female students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for the academic year 2024-2025 were selected, numbering (40) students. They were divided into two groups, a control group and an experimental group, with each group consisting of (20) students. Homogeneity and equivalence were achieved between the two groups. As for the results of the research, the most important conclusion was that the recreational program had an impact on improving the heart rate and thyroxine secretion rate among female students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences.
