Abstract
Background and Purpose: There is very limited data on the effectiveness of resistance exercise on liver enzymes in hepatic patients with diabesity. The effects of three months resisted exercise training on serum liver transaminases (Ala-nine-aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate-aminotr- ansferase (AST)) 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 40 kg/m2. They were ran-domly 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/d), the control group (group B) received low-calorie diet (1500 cal/d) without any program of exercise. The biochemical changes in serum liver transaminases (ALT and AST) were measured at the beginning of the study and after twelve weeks.
The Results: Showed that resisted exercise had significant decrease in ALT (–6.95mg/dL; p<0.05 vs. –0.84mg/dL; p<0.05) and in AST (–6.0mg/dL; p<0.05 vs. –0.59mg/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 decrease in liver enzymes (ALT and AST) in hepatic patient with diabesity in a short term (up to twelve weeks).
