2. the male and female middle school students' cholesterol amount of blood fat reduced most in the combinedly performed group of aerobic exercise and behavioral modification therapy.
3. It indicated a statistically significant difference between groups (f(3.56)=9.50) and the measurements according to the application period of program as well (f(3.168)=554.94, p=.000).
4. The cholesterol amount per measurement period reduced most6 between 8 and 12weeks.
