The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of 12 weeks rope jumping and Swiss ball exercise (55 to 75% HRR: 3 times a week) on body composition and bone formation markers in young children. Forty eight participants were divided into two groups, the exercise group (n=24) and the control group (n=24). All items were assesed before and after exercise program. The results of this study are as follows; 1. Body composition: In the comparison of mean changes before and after exercise program execution on body composition within each group, the exercise group showed significant increases in height, weight, fat mass and %fat. The control group showed significant increases in all items. The interaction effect between groups and time didn’t appear a significant difference. 2. Osteocalcin: In the comparison of mean changes before and after exercise program execution in osteocalcin within each group, the exercise group didn’t appear a significant change and the control group were significantly decreased in girl children. The interaction effect between groups and time didn’t appear a significant difference. 3. Alkaline phosphatase: In the comparison of mean changes before and after exercise program in Alkaline phosphatase within each group didn’t appear a significant difference in exercise group and control group. The interaction effect between groups and time showed a significant difference. In conclusion, for young children in the stage of the formation of bone mineral contents, rope jumping and Swiss ball exercise are postive effect in promoting their growth and bone health, but osteocalcin concentration did not changes. Thus, further research is required to consider intensity and duration of exercise on bone formation markers of young children’s.
