The objective of this research was to establish a suggested training program by using functional exercises and to know the effect of such program on some components of somatic composition (percentage of body fat, mass of fatty cells, mass of non-fatty cells, body mass index, and total mass of body water) and the response of the immune system through such variables as function of the response of the immune system and those were (basophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, neutrophil and eosinophil) and the numerical level of discus throwers in the research sample. The researcher applied the experimental method to a sample of (7) competitors of athletics specialization at Sports Secondary School, Zagazig in 2013/2014 academic year by applying the suggested training program for (10) weeks to the research sample. The results showed that functional exercises had significantly positive effect on some components of somatic composition viz. percentage of body fat, mass of fatty cells, mass of non-fatty cells, body mass index and total mass of body water in the research sample individuals. Also, the functional exercises had significantly positive effect on the numerical level of discus throwers in the research sample as well as having significantly positive effect on variables as function of the response of the immune system viz. basophil, lymphocyte, monocyte and eosinophil in the research sample individuals. Moreover, the functional exercises led to percentage of improvement in the level of the lymphocyte variable; however, this improvement was non-significant in the research sample individuals. The researcher recommended the importance of using the functional exercises for their positive effect on some components of somatic composition and the response of the immune system in discus throwers.
