This study conducted a 12-week combined exercise program with obese women with intellectual disabilities to examine the effect of the program on health-related physical fitness and blood lipid. The following conclusion was reached.

1. For body composition of changes in health-related physical fitness, the exercise group had no significant difference in weight but had significant difference in body fat( p<.001), muscle strength(p<.05), endurance(p<.05), flexibility(p<.001), and cardiovascular endurance(p<.01).

2. For changes in blood lipid, the exercise group had no significant difference in total cholesterol, but had significant difference in triglyceride(p<.001), HDL cholesterol(p<.01) and LDL cholesterol)(p<.001).

Based on the findings, a regular combined exercise program for a long term was effective for a decrease in weight and body fat in obese women with intellectual disabilities, resulting in a prevention against metabolic syndrome. Moreover, their decrease in blood lipid and increase in HDL after a combined exercise program suggests that the program can reduce cardiovascular diseases risk and have positive effect on a prevention against life habit diseases. Further research should develop effective exercise programs for people with intellectual disabilities not to have difficulties in participating in the programs, explore methods to foster professional coaches, conduct ongoing research on people with disabilities' spontaneous and effective participation in exercises, and prepare institutional support measures. Then, it will serve as an effective method to maximize PE education for people with disabilities and make their social and mental health much better.
