As a result, fifty-seven children (WHI ≧ 1.20) were assigned into WT (18 children), M+ WT (19 children) and control group (19 children) (CG) randomly. Both WT and M + WT groups underwent walk training (30-50 minutes), 3-5 times per week for 12 weeks. The M + WT group listened to the music on the walk training while CG group maintained the normal daily life without taking any training. All of the subjects were tested the physical fitness including sit and reach, flexibility, standing long jump, and 800m run. Descriptive statistics was used to express the percentage of change between pre-test and post-test. One- way ANCOVA was adopted to compare the physical fitness tests and difference among the groups. Independent samples t-test was used to analyze the RPE score between WT and M + WT groups. The results were as follows: Compare to the CG, both WT and M + WT groups had significant (p < .05) better performance on the tests including sit and reach, standing long jump, and 800 m run than that of. Compare to the WT group, M + WT group also had significant (p < .05) better performance on the tests including reach and standing long jump, 800 m run and higher RPE score. This study concluded that walking with music can greatly improve health-related physical fitness, it is suitable to be used to train in obese children.
