Effects of Vigorous Intensity Exercises on the Bilirubin level of Liver
Abstract
The researchers at Shaheeed Benazir Bhutto Women University in Peshawar set out to examine the "effects of vigorous intensity exercises on the bilirubin level of liver" among the students. The study was experimental in nature. Thirty students who were healthy and eager to participate in the study were selected using the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). The pre-test bilirubin level of the selected subjects was determined using the Liver Function Test (LFT). Subjects were randomly and equally assigned to the Experimental group (vigorous intensity exercises) and the Control (which got no treatment) group. The experimental group participated in vigorous exercise three times a week for 10 weeks as part of their treatment. The subjects of the control group did not get any treatment during this time but went about their routines as usual. The bilirubin post-test data was gathered using the same assay as the bilirubin pre-test. This was done once the full course of intervention had been taken. The minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation, paired sample t test and independent sample t test were used to conduct descriptive and inferential analyses of the data collected before and after the treatment/intervention. The 0.05 level of significance was applied uniformly throughout this study. The results showed that the bilirubin level of the subjects of experimental group enhanced significantly after 10-week treatment of vigorous intensity exercises. The subjects in the control group did not see significant improvement in their bilirubin level of the liver because they were not given any kind of treatment. It was concluded that vigorous intensity exercises performed on a regular basis would help people in the enhancement of bilirubin level i.e., will enhance the function of liver.
