Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to find out the effect of training on dimensions of spleen, kidney and liver in licensedfootball players.Methods: The study group consisted of 53 licensed male football players and 52 male non-athlete controls. The visceral organmeasurements were evaluated by ultrasonography. Independent samples t test and linear regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results: The mean age was 22.11±3.36 years in footballers and 22.71±3.92 years in controls. The spleen’s transverse axis length(4.89±0.52 cm) and liver’s anteroposterior length (11.9±2.35 cm) were significantly higher in the footballers compared to thecontrols (4.42±0.65 cm and 10.39±1.9 cm; p
