Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of circuit training program and reality therapy for four weeks on the autonomic nervous system and life stress of college students. Methods: For this purpose, 58 subjects (29 physical therapy group and 29 exercise group) of twenties college students living in the five opening areas of Changwon city were enrolled in this study. All of them participated each program per 3 times per week for 4 weeks. The results of the study were as follows. Results: First, there was no significant interaction effect between time and group on all variables (total power, very low frequency, low frequency, standard deviation of all normal beat-to-normal beat, root mean square of successive differences) related to heart rate variability (HRV). There was no significant difference in HRV among subjects. Second, there were significant interaction between the group and times (p <.05) in terms of family relations, values, friends and economic problems except of heterosexual relationship stress. In other words, the 4-week reality therapy program was effective in reducing life stress of female college students except of heterosexual relationship stress. Conclusion: These results suggested that the 4-week reality therapy had no effect on the change of heart rate of female college students but it was effective in decreasing life stress. However the reality therapy program would be considered to be a combined program that would expect a positive change of physical function (HRV) of participants as a way to effectively increase the effect of short terms of reality therapy. However, for the more positive HRV of female college students participating in the exercise program, exercise intensity higher than the exercise intensity (RPE 17) used in this study may be required, and the program period of 4 weeks or more may be necessary. The reality therapy would be more efficient method than high intensity circuit training program considering participation period.
