  1. Data were expressed as mean ± SD or median (inter quartile range). AST aspartate aminotransferase, ALT alanine aminotransferase, γ-GTP γ- glutamyl transpeptidase, Total-C total cholesterol, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TG triglyceride, UA uric acid, FPG fasting plasma glucose, HOMA-IR homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance; *Log-transformed variables for non-normally distributed variables (AST, ALT, γ-GTP, TG, FPG, insulin, HOMA-IR) were used to analysis. The low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was calculated using the Friedewald equation. P value for difference between heavyweight Judo and Football groups were assessed by unpaired t test. Significant differences, P < 0.05
