Summary

The liver plays a central role in energy exchange, protein synthesis as well as the elimination of waste products from the body. The optimal functioning of the liver is essential for athletic performance. It becomes necessary to maintain the enzymes of the liver at an optimal level so that liver cells can be protected from inflammation or damage. This paper investigated the effects of a twelve-week aerobic exercise program on the liver function of adult athletes. A total of thirty (30) healthy male athletes aged 21 to 24 were recruited for this study and kept in two equal groups. The control group was kept under rigorous supervision and did not participate in any special activities. The experiment group was well-versed in their assigned training program and solely performed the experimental procedure for twelve (12) weeks. Evaluation of all patients in both experimental and control groups was carried out before and after the treatment program by measuring the levels of (Alkaline phosphate, AST/SGOT, ALT/SGPT, Bilirubin Total/indirect/direct, Albumin, Globulin, and Total protein) respectively using standard methods by collecting blood samples, 5 mls each of baseline into lithium heparin containers for estimation of above biochemical parameters at the pathology laboratory accredited by National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories accredited (NABL, India).
