ABSTRACT

Some of the main problems facing sportsmen, and males in general, are obesity and the accumulation of unwanted fat. Gynecomastia is the phenomenon of a body deformity in males that occurs in the chest area and causes a lot of embarrassment. It is quite uncomfortable for sportsmen and males. They experience embarrassment and dissatisfaction, making them dress in such a way that may hide their weight or gynecomastia. The importance of this research lies in developing a general suggested rehabilitative program (training and diet) by trainers and experts in the field of training and bodybuilding. This program is developed to: address the phenomenon of gynecomastia, burning accumulated fat in the chest area, raising testosterone level, and lowering (progesterone and estrogen) hormone levels in participants. The research problem is explored through observing some males with noticeable bloated or flabby chest appearance. They are examined to check the amount of accumulated fat in their bodies -using calipers- and examine the chest glands by feeling them to detect the texture of this gland. The results are presented to doctors specialized in this field, showing that they suffer from a form of sagging. This condition occurs due to three reasons: a genetic glandular disease, a difference between the proportions of male and female hormones, or the accumulation of fats as a result of a diet containing fats, carbohydrates, and sugars which the body keeps in the form of fats in the chest area. This phenomenon is called gynecomastia. The research community consists of students from the College of Physical Education and Sport Sciences - University of Qadisiyah for the academic year 2018-2019. The sample consists of (10) students divided into two groups (experimental and control) - (5) students per group. The researchers check the homogeneity and equivalence of the research sample in the studied variables. All field procedures have been appropriately done, from measurements to obtain the necessary data, to conducting the appropriate statistics and classifying them in the form of tables, analyzing and discussing them, and coming up with some conclusions and
