The current study aimed to examine the effect of a period of regular exercise onthe aggression of educable mentally retarded students aged between 9 and 15 inLordegan city. For this purpose, 28 students were selected randomly and dividedinto two groups: 7 boys and 7 girls in experimental group and 7 boys and 7 girls incontrol group. Ghezelseflu et al. (1387) aggression scale was used as a pretest forboth groups. A period of exercise program as an intervention program was run for2 months, every week, 3 sessions (45 minutes) per week on the experimental group.After intervention program, aggression scale was run again. The data wereanalyzed by covariance using spss software. The results showed that a significantdifference between control and experimental groups' performance (P<0.001) inaggression which showed that a period of exercise program reduced theaggression and its subscales in the experimental group. It was concluded thatregular exercise program reduced the aggression of educable mentally retardedstudents.
