The data were analyzed for the mean(M) and standard deviation(SD), and the differences according to the group variables for the mean were analyzed using the paired t-test. The significance level of all variables was set at p <.05. The conclusions obtained through the above process were as follows. First, after 12 weeks of new sports physical activity program, there was no significant difference in the pretest, but in the posttest, self-recognition ability (t=5.403, p.<05), self-regulating ability (t=15.126, p<.001), cognitive recognition ability (t=-12.658, p<.001), tine control ability (t=-15.324, p<.001) Showed a statistically significant difference. Second, as a result of conducting 12 weeks of new sports physical activity program, there was no significant difference in the pretest. The cooperativeness among the experimental group and the control group (t=-12.915, p.<001) and the understanding of others (t=16.126, p.<001), autonomy (t=-13.708, p.<001), and peer interaction (t= -14.689, p.<001) showed statistically significant differences in the posttest.
