Histologic examination of the liver cells was done to see the picture of cell necrosis. Statistical analysis used in this study is anova, to know the difference in the number of cells undergoing necrosis in each group. Result : The result of this study shows that the average number of cells undergoing necrosis in high physical activity group (0,667) is bigger than control group (0,00). The average number of cells undergoing necrosis in maximum physical activity group, given purple sweet potato extract (0,167) is lower than group without purple sweet potato extract (0,667), p less than 0.05.
