Abstract
Background and Objective: Fatty liver disease is one
of the most common diseases in postmenopausal women. While regular exercise can decrease the
complication of this disease, it has not been clearly identified.Thus, we aimed to investigate
the effect
of 6-weeks of aerobic training on Alanine transaminase, Aspartate Aminotransphrase
and Alkaline phosphatase changes
in menopausal women.
Material
and Methods:In this Semi-empirical study, 20 postmenopausal women were randomly
divided into equal experimental and control groups. The experimental group
participated in a controlled aerobic training at 40-60 percent of maximal heart rate. The
program was the three training sessions per week (45-60 minutes) for six weeks.
By being fast for 12 hours, blood samples were taken before and after 6 weeks.
Results: After six weeks, the level of Alanine
transaminase, Aspartate Aminotransphrase and Alkaline phosphatase decreased significantly in experimental group (p<0.05), in contrast
with control group. Also, there were no significant changes in the baseline characteristic of
participants, liver enzymes level and lipid profile between experimental and
control groups.
Conclusion: The findings showed that
six-weeks of aerobic training can diminish liver enzymes but it has not any
effect on lipid level.
