The purpose of this article is to provide a method of losing weight and early managing risky factors of geriatric disease by having male and female obese middle school students´ participate in behavioral modification and aerobic exercise, foster their own desirable behavioral habit and confidence in solving obesity and continue their living pattern all their life.
In order to do this, 64, subjects over 20% obese degree obtained using the standard weight, belonging within 50% range of weight percentage per height(male: 32, female:32) were grouped to 4 categories of aerobic exercise therapy, behavioral modification therapy, both therapies combinedly applied and control ones by 8 male and female students allocated to each group respectively, and they were practiced to each program for 12 weeks, and the findings between group were obtained as follows.
1. 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. It indicated a statistically significant difference between groups (F(3,56)=9.50, p=.000) and the measurements according to the application period of program as well (F(3,168)=554.94, p=.000).
The cholesterol amount per measurement period reduced most between 8 and 12 weeks.
2. The male and female middle school students´ high density fat amount increased most in the combinedly performed group of aerobic exercise therapy and behavioral therapy, its descending order of next highest rate was aerobic exercise therapy, behavioral modification therapy and control group. It indicated a statistically significant difference between the distinction of male and female sexes (F(1,56)=13.82, p=.000) and the measurements according to the application period of program (F(3,168)=55.58, p=.000). The high density fatty quality per measurement period increased most between 8 and 12 weeks.
3. The male and female middle school students´ low density fat amount reduced most in the combinedly performed group of aerobic exercise therapy and behavioral modification therapy. It indicated a statistically significant difference between group (F(3,56)=17.35, p.000) and the measurements according to the application period of program (F(3,168=891.14, p=.000). The low density fat amount reduced most between 8 and 12 weeks.
4. The male and female middle school students´ neutral fat amount reduced most in the combinedly preformed group of aerobic exercise therapy and behavioral modification therapy. It indicated a statistically significant difference between the distinction of sexes (F(1,56)=9.54, p=.003) and groups (F(3,56=25.57, p=.000) and the measurements according to the application period of program (F(3,168)=566.03, p=.000). The male students indicated the most reduction between 4 and 8weeks. while the female students between 8 and 12 weeks.
