No significant hypertension was detested among the subjects, Using relative body fat, 15.6% of the boys were considered obese. body fat percent showed significant inverse relationships with cardiorespiratory fitness, HOL-ehok-slerol, HDL-Ccholestcrol ratio, and was related positively to systolic tind diastolic blood pressures bur not to total cholesterol. Blood pressure was not related to cholesterol or triglyceride levels. The findings of this study also showed that 223% of the boys exceeded cholesterol level of 5.2 mmal/L.26,4% had triglyceride tev*j above 1.4 mmol/L., 15.4% had a LDL-cholestcrol level above 3.4 mmol/L, and 4.0% had HDL-cholestcrol below .96 mmol/L.
