Two instruments were used to measure the two dependent variables body image perception using MBSRQ scale, and self-esteem using Self-Esteem Scale. Data was analyzed using inferential statistics. Data analysis based on t-test shows significant difference between pretest and posttest in all modalities of aerobic exercise programs in body image perception and self-esteem. An analysis of variance (3 way-ANOVA) reveals that there is a significant difference between the different modalities of aerobic exercise programs in body image perception in all body image subscales (p < 0.05) and self-esteem (f=81.299, p < 0.05). L.S.D. shows that combination of step/dance aerobics and weight training program is the most effective program on body image and self-esteem. Results of this study contribute to developing the role of aerobic exercise in improving body image perception and self-esteem.
