To study and to compare the effects of a recreation program on health-related physical fitness of children in the Welfare of Rajavihi Girls Home. The samples were 40 children, between 7-12 years old. Subjects were equally divided into 2 groups, each of which consisted of experimental group and control group. The experimental group has participated in the recreation program that was aimed to develop the health-related physical fitness for 10 week, 3 days per week and 90 minutes per day. Both groups were tested for the health-related physical fitness 3 times, i.e. before the experiment, 5 weeks after the beginning of program and 10 weeks after the program. The experimental results were analyzed in terms of means, SD, t-test and analysis of variance with repeated measure (F-test). If the results were found the significant difference at the level .05, Tukey method was employed. It was found that: 1. The resting heart rate and the heart rate of 3 minutes after the step test of the experimental group were significant difference at the .05 level after 10 weeks, while there are no significant difference in the control group. 2. The flexibility of experimental group increased after 10 weeks and the heart rate of 3 minutes after the step test decreased more than the control group at the significant difference level of .05. In the resting period, heart rate, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, body composition, flexibility, muscular strength and endurance and circulo-respiratory endurance were not significantly different.
