The This research aims to reveal the effect of a proposed sports program consisting of games of an entertaining nature on some morphological measurements indicating weight gain in people with hearing disabilities. In this research, we relied on the experimental method because it suits the nature of the problem studied. The research was conducted at the Pedagogical Center for the Rehabilitation of the Hearing Impaired in Setif Province. The research sample was chosen intentionally and consisted of 8 overweight students of both sexes. This research relied on measuring some morphological measurements: body mass index (BMI) and body fat mass(BFM). The In-Body 320 device was used as a tool to detect the morphological characteristics of the sample. The research concluded that the recreational exercise program has great effectiveness in improving the previously mentioned measurements.
