Abstract
Background and objectives: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing health problem in the world. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of eight weeks of Pilates training and jujube supplement consumption on liver fat content, liver enzymes and platelet count in women with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
method: The present study is of semi-experimental type and random distribution of samples, which was carried out in the form of pre-test-post-test with the control group. 40 middle-aged women with NAFLD were selected by purposive sampling and divided into four equal groups. 24 hours before and 48 hours after the end of the intervention, liver enzymes were measured, platelets were counted, and ultrasound was performed to determine the degree of fatty liver. Pilates exercises were performed three times a week for eight weeks. The jujube supplement only group and the Pilates and jujube training group consumed 0.4 g/kg of jujube in the morning and evening. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software and Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical tests, one-way ANOVA and t-test at a significance level of P<0.05.
Results: The levels of AST, platelet count, WHR and liver fat content in the Pilates, jujube and pilates plus jujube exercise groups were significantly changed compared to the pre-test and compared to the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Sports activity, especially pilates exercises, along with jujube consumption can reduce the serum concentration of liver enzymes, reduce liver fat content and increase the number of blood platelets.
