The objective of this research is to discuss the effects of the 12-week walking training on body mass and density of cholesterol of overweight college female students. Twelve subjects were from the weight control class of Yuanpei University of Science and Technology with BMI greater than 25 (the average age of 18.67±0.29 years old; the average height of 156.36±3.32cm; the average weight of 61.67±1.00kg; Body Mass Index of 25.64±0.19kg/m^2). All subjects received a 12-week walking training (three times per week; 60minutes each time; the exercise intensity was between 55% and 65% HRmax). Weight and BMI measurement and blood testing were conducted 24 hours prior to the training and 48 hours after the training, which were used to observe body mass and changes of density of Total Cholesterol, Triglyceride, High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol. The results showed that 12-week middle or low intensity regular walking training can effectively improve body mass, lower Trig lyceride, and increase density of High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol. However, the walking training failed to show significant effect on lowering the density of Total Cholesterol and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol.
