The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 week aerobic exercise program on health related fitness components and blood lipids in obese girls. In this study, a total of 40 girls were recruited as exercise group (n = 20) and control group (n = 19). Participants joined sessions for 60 min per day, 3 days per week for 12-week. There were significant differences in weight, body mass index (BMI), flexibility, sit-ups, hand grip for both hands, VO(2max), skin fold measurements (thigh, triceps, biceps, abdomen, suprailiac, subscapula, chest, body fat percent, heart rate, high density lipoproteins (HDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL),, total cholesterol, and triglyceride between pre-test and post test scores in the exercise group (p<0.05). It was concluded that regular aerobic exercise may affect health related fitness components and blood lipids positively in girls. Furthermore, it may result in decreasing obesity in girls.
