Blood lipid analyses were conducted on athletes and non-athletes to determine the extent to which certain blood parameters are affected by sports activity. The research objectives included identifying the results of blood fats for students in the Physical Education Department and comparing them with those of students in the Chemistry Department. The descriptive approach was used to suit the nature of the study , while the research sample was a group of female students from fourth-year students in the Department of physical Education, College of Education for Girls (athletes), and female students from the fourth year of the Department of Chemistry (non-athletes), with 10 female students from each department . Note that the mean age of the students was 23.15 years, SD=0.67, median 23, the mean height was165 cm, SD=5.36, median 166, and the mean weight was 67.2 kg, SD=3.54, median 67. Blood samples were taken for each female student during break time in order to analyze five blood indicators to identify the extent to which physical activity affects these indicators was determined by comparing the two groups using statistical analysis. The results were then discussed. In light of the findings, the researcher drew several conclusions. Regular physical activity is essential for female students, regardless of their university major, and should be practiced two to three times per week to be effective for general health and obesity prevention, and to help regulate blood lipid and lipoprotein levels, as it influences fat accumulation in the blood and subcutaneous tissue. Diet determines fat intake ,while exercise helps regular lipid levels. It is recommended to conduct periodic blood lipid tests for athletes and non-athletes alike to identify a person's health status early
