Abstract
Background: Exercise and nutrition help improve body health through several mechanisms, including progress liver function. Objectives: Present study aimed to investigate the effect of resistance training (RT) with green tea (GT) on liver enzymes in athletic female. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 40 female volleyball players aged 16 - 25 years based on body mass index (BMI) were divided into four groups of 10 persons including (1) placebo (P), (2) GT, (3) RT, and RT + GT. During eight weeks, groups 3 and 4 performed RT for three sessions per week, and groups 2 and 4 consumed 3 capsules of 500 mg GT daily after each main meal. Kolmogorov-Smirnov and factorial ANOVA tests were used to analyze the findings (P ≤ 0.05). Results: Eight weeks of RT, GT and RT + GT had no significant effect on AST (P = 0.78), ALT (P = 0.83) and ALP (P = 0.91) serum levels. Conclusions: It seems that eight weeks of RT, GT and RT + GT are not effective on changes of liver enzyme levels in athletic female.
