It has had a great role to play in the physical and skill aspect because they were doing speed competitions on horses and carts in addition to training to carry large stones to develop the muscle strength of individuals, not to mention wrestling and combat tools that they used to beat enemies. It can be said that the physical qualities they enjoyed of strength, speed, scale, agility and flexibility in addition to accuracy and balance were all for the purpose of diapering the country and victory over enemies, as each individual must enjoy high speed of running and great strength and flexibility to perform wrestling in addition to agility in the performance of fencing with a sword and precision in the performance of spear or arrow and balance when performing combat skills or long endurance to carry the weight of long distance when performing daily skills such as agriculture and ploughing.

The most important conclusions reached by the researchers on the fact that all the physical and skill qualities enjoyed by the members of the civilization of ancient Egypt were the result of long training, practice and absorption of fitness elements, as they used each attribute in its proper place and dealt on the basis of the requirement of that attribute and skill used with weapons despite the weight of weapons and their multiplicity and how to deal with them was never traditional because they were against powerful enemies or for the purpose of building a large building that was not used at the time. All physical and skill abilities are similar to modern-day physical and skill ary abilities with some differences in the methods of performance and purpose of performance.
