Background and purpose: Today, one of the main causes of cardiovascular diseases and liver damage is the increase in fat mass, or in other words, obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of continuous and intermittent aerobic exercises with leukoate leaf consumption on liver enzymes in overweight women.
Methodology: The current research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design. For this purpose, 75 overweight women of Qom city were selected purposefully. Participants were randomly assigned to six groups of continuous aerobic exercise (15), intermittent aerobic exercise (15), leuquat consumption (15), continuous aerobic exercise group with leuquat leaf consumption (15), intermittent aerobic exercise with The consumption of leukovate leaves and the control group (15) were divided. The participants came to the Hijab sports club in Qom to implement the training protocol for 8 weeks with three training sessions. The program of aerobic exercises includes continuous aerobic exercises including continuous running without rest with an intensity of 55-60% of the reserve heart rate, the interval training program includes interval runs at distances of 100, 200, 300, 400 and 600 meters with intensity 80-85% of reserve heart rate with rest between rounds is vests. The data were tested using the statistical method of paired t-test and covariance analysis and Tukey's post hoc test at a significance level of 0.05.
Findings: The available results showed that eight weeks of continuous and intermittent aerobic exercises with the consumption of leukovate leaves have a significant effect on liver enzymes (ALP, AST, ALT) in overweight women. Also, the results of Tukey's post hoc test showed that there was a significant difference between the exercise groups with the extract and the control group and the control group and the exercise group.
Conclusion: In general, the results of the present study indicate that, in addition to performing continuous and periodic aerobic exercises, the consumption of leukovate leaves can be an adjunctive treatment in reducing the levels of liver enzymes AST, ALP and ALT in overweight women.
