The study was designed as a quasi-experimental research in nonequivalent pre-test, post-test design, taking two classes of the third graders in a junior high school in Taichung City as the sample population. The experimental group (Class A) is instructed the frisbee sports programs in physical education (PE) classes or after-school programs and the comparison group (Class B) is instructed the traditional programs. The collected data was analyzed by statistical methods, including description statistics, one-way ANOVA, and two-way ANCOVA. Based on the analyzed results, the main conclusions of the study are the following: 1.
