The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of zero hour class exercise program on the metabolic disease risk factors and BDNF related factors in obese elementary children. 14 subjects were divided into zero hour class exercise(n=7) and control(n=7) groups. The zero hour class exercise program was conducted 60 minutes/day, 5 days a week for 12 weeks. The results were summarized as follows: Body weight, body mass index, percent body fat, waist circumference, diastolic blood pressure and triglyceride were significantly decreased within zero hour class exercise group. Back strength, sit-up, progressive aerobic cardiovascular endurance run, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, insulin-like growth factor-1 and brain derived neurotrophic factor were significantly increased within zero hour class exercise group. Zero hour class exercise group was shown that there were significant differences of body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, progressive aerobic cardiovascular endurance run, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, triglyceride, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-1 and brain derived neurotrophic factor, compared with control group. In summary, when considering the above results, we concluded that zero hour class exercise could improve body composition, physical fitness, metabolic disease risk factors and BDNF related factors in obese elementary children.
