What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of two different exercise regimens on patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). One group will engage in continuous aerobic training on a treadmill for 60 minutes, while the other group will participate in a pyramidal training program that includes intervals of running and rest. Both groups will follow a low-calorie diet and complete their exercise sessions three times a week over a 12-week period. The goal is to determine which exercise method is more effective in reducing elevated liver enzymes associated with fatty liver.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into more effective exercise strategies for managing fatty liver disease.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown that exercise can positively impact liver health, but the specific comparison of pyramidal versus continuous training is less explored.
