title: [Liver and sports].
abstract: Physical exercise does not have harmful effects on liver, yet it can be an occasional cause of heat stroke in long-distance runners if they do not drink enough. Practicing sports does not have harmful liver effects as long as some risk behaviors are avoided such as consumption of anabolizers, sharing syringes or traveling to hepatitis endemic countries without being vaccinated. In patients with acute or chronic liver diseases, physical activity or practicing sports can be allowed as long as these do not lead to an excessive fatigue.
