The purpose of this study is to research the effect of the eight
week calisthenics exercise, applied to sedentary males, on some liver
enzymes. 20 volunteer males, the age average of whom is 29,40 ±3, 47
years and height average of whom is 177,45±4, 89 cm, participated in
the research.
The body weight, fat percentage and fasting blood sample were taken by
the expert persons in the suitable laboratory environment in the
healthcare institutions, determined, before and after the application of the
exercise program. SPSS 22. 0 package program was used for analyzing
the data obtained and independent groups test (Wilcoxon Test) was
applied for comparing the descriptive statistics and the values before and
after the exercise.
As a result of the findings we obtained, it was found out that there is a
significant difference between the blood lipids, triglyceride, HDL, LDL,
and total cholesterol levels before and after the calisthenics exercise
program applied (p > 0. 05). Similarly, it was determined that there is
also a significant change between the pre-test-post-test liver enzyme values
(AST, ALT) (p > 0. 05).
In conclusion, it is understood that the calisthenics exercise program, we
applied, provides a significant and efficient change on sedentary males
physiologically from the results of the study. Starting from these findings,
not needing upper level materials for applying the calisthenics exercises
suggests that it is efficient to guide the sedentary males to exercise. At the
same time, this exercise program being easily applicable home is
important because it is thought that obtaining a healthy body mass index
can also protect from cardiovascular diseases, caused by sedentary life style
and the risk factors causing these diseases.
