Thirty-eight obese students were 11.48 ± 1.12 years old, height were 143.2 ± 6.8 cm, and weight were 69.65 ± 12.83 kg. All subjects were recruited as subjects from the third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades of Hou-Hong Primary School in Kaohsiung County. Their BMI values were equal or more than 26 and their percentage of body fat were more than 30. All subjects were randomly assigned to the training group ( n = 21 ) and the control group ( n = 17 ). The training group attended the step aerobic exercise program ,30 minutes a day, 72~96 beat/min，5 days a week, for 12 weeks and took the pulse after training. All subjects were examined body composition by InBody720 and health-related physical fitness before and after training. The data was analyzed by one-way ANCOVA to examine the difference between two groups. The significant level was set α = .05. The study showed that 12 weeks step aerobic exercise can’t change weight, body fat mass, and abdominal obesity degree of body composition. There was no statistical difference in stand long jump, one-minute sit-ups, modified sit and reach, and 800-meter running and walking between the two groups. The conclusion of the study was that 12 weeks step aerobic exercise program for 12 weeks didn’t have significant improvement on body composition and health-related physical fitness among obese primary school students. However, the primary school should hold step aerobic exercise every morning, because it could benefit for students’ health-related physical fitness.
