Abstract
Introduction: Fatty liver is a common hepatic disease due to the abnormal accumulation of fat. If not prevented, it leads to damage and inflammation, which can lead to cirrhosis and liver carcinoma. This research aims to investigate the effect of eight weeks of Pilates training along with silymarin consumption on the levels of liver enzymes in women with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 40 women with non-alcoholic fatty liver were randomly divided into four groups: Pilates training (N=10) with an average age of 42.2±8.68 years and an average weight of 75.2±8.01 kg, and Silymarin supplement (N=10) with an average age of 43.3±4.66 years and an average weight of 75.9±4.75 kg, and Pilates training with Silymarin supplement (N=10) with an average age of 39.8±7.72 years and an average weight of 74.4±7.90 kg, control group (N=10) with an average age of 40.1±8.97 years and an average weight of 74.4±6.38 kg. The Pilates group performed Pilates training for 60 minutes three days a week for eight weeks. The Silymarin supplement group took 140 mg silymarin capsules three days a week (after meals) for eight weeks. the Silymarin supplement group and the control group did not participate in the training activities To analyze the data, dependent samples t-test and analysis of covariance (ANCOCA) were run using SPSS 23 at a significance level of P<0.05.
Results: The results of statistical analysis showed that the levels of liver enzymes ALP, AST, ALT decreased significantly after eight weeks of Pilates training with Silymarin consumption (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings, 8 weeks of Pilates training along with Silymarin consumption can have a beneficial effect on improving liver enzymes
