Abstract:
This study aims to ascertain the effect of moderate intensity physical exercise on changes in liver function characterized by variations in AST and ALT levels. National female boxers aged 18 to 23 years were volunteered to participate in the study. Participants were informed about the purpose of the study, consent forms, and questionnaires on their readiness to engage in physical exercise. The study assessed physiological and biochemical factors for all participants twice: once at baseline and once at the end of the training program. Biochemical parameters were measured using adequate blood sample taken immediately after cessation of the complete boxing training. The SAI Pithoragarh coach designed an 8-week training program with the help of researcher, which included 48 sessions total (≈53 hours). The researchers separated the programme into three stages: developing physical fitness components, developing specific physical fitness components and advanced technical skills, and adjusting technical performance, training for the main competition, and stressing tactical and competition experience. The study found that there was a significant increase in AST and ALT values after 8 week BOXING training. Exercise type, duration, and intensity all affect liver enzyme levels and muscle damage. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of understanding the impact of 8 week boxing training on liver enzyme levels and muscle damage in boxers. Further research is needed to understand the effects of boxing training on liver enzyme levels and muscle damage.
