Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the effects of physical exercises and anger control skill on male teenageers' aggression. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> In the current quasi-experimental study (pre-test and post-test), 40 students at the school of Edalat in Arak city were selected through convenience sampling method. Participants were then non-randomly divided into two experimental groups (20 each). The first group received Physical Exercises (two sessions per week, each one hour) and the second group received Anger Control Skill training (two sessions per week, each one hour). Univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA & MANCOVA) were used to analyze the data. <strong>Results:</strong> The findings of the present study showed that the effectiveness of anger control skill in reducing aggression and its components (physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, and hostility) were significantly higher than doing physical exercises (p <0.001). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> According to the results, anger control skill is more effective in reducing male teenagers' aggression compared with physical exercises. <strong>Background and Aim: </strong>Aggression is one of the most serious social threats in adolescents that disrupt their physical and mental health.
