This study examined the effects of a taekwondo training program on body composition, blood lipid, and adiponectin in obese middle school girls. The results were as follows.

1. For the changes in body composition, the exercise group showed a significant difference in weight and percent body fat at the level of p<.001.

2. For the changes in blood lipid, the exercise group showed a significant difference in total cholesterol(p<.01), TG(p<.001), HDL-cholesterol(p<.001), and LDL-cholesterol(p<.001)

3. For the changes in adiponectin, the exercise group showed a significant difference in adiponectin(p<.01). Taken together, long-term taekwondo training can be a useful program to reduce weight and percent body fat to prevent metabolic syndrome and decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases in obese middle school girls. Furthermore, the increase and decrease in blood lipid after taekwondo training showed a positive effect on the prevention of life－style related diseases such as adolescent obesity and cardiovascular disease.
