Abstract
Background and Purpose: There is very limited data on the effectiveness of resistance exercise on liver enzymes in hepatic patients. The effects of three months resisted exercise training on liver enzymes (Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Bilirubin) for hepatic patients with diabesity were studied.
Patients and Methodology: Forty females non alcoholic fatty liver disease patients with diabesity with age of 40-60 years were included in the present study. Their body mass index (BMI) ranged from 35 to >40kg/m2. They were randomly divided into two groups, each group consisted of 20 patient, the study group (group A) received a program of resisted exercise training (50min, resisted exercises, 3 times/week) with low-calorie diet (1500 cal/day), the control group (group B) received low-calorie diet (1500 cal/day) without any program of exercise. The biochemical changes in liver enzymes (ALP and Bilirubin) were measured at the beginning of the study and after twelve weeks.
Results: Showed that resisted exercise had significant improvement in ALP (–14.19mg/dL; p<0.05 vs. –1.45mg/dL; p<0.05) and in Bilirubin (–0. 1 1mg/dL; p<0.05 vs. –0.0 1mg/dL; p<0.05). But changes in the second group was not statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion: It was concluded that a program of resisted exercise showed significant improvement in liver enzymes (ALP and Bilirubin) in hepatic patient with diabesity in a short term (up to twelve weeks).
