This research aimed at studying the effect of 12 sessions of combined exercises (endurance-resistance) on some physical fitness factors in female students. To do this, 45 students with average age of (20±2/8) were selected. They were tested before and after 12 sessions of exercise and were compared with the control group, 13 persons, who did not do any sport activities. After 12 sessions of exercise, statistical studies showed some significant changes in cardiorespiratory endurance, and strength and endurance of the abdominal muscles and scapula, but the results were not significant in explosive power of calf muscles.
