ABSTRACT: Background
Some studies assessed the effect of aerobic exercise on diabetic obese patients with hepatic disease, while very limited studies compared high-intensity interval (HII) versus moderate-intensity continuous (MIC) on diabetic obese patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Objectives
This study was designed to assess the effects of HII versus MIC on intrahepatic triglycerides (IHTG) and visceral lipids in diabetic obese patients with NAFLD.Design
Randomized controlled trial.Methods
Forty-seven diabetic obese individuals with NAFLD were enrolled in this study. The individuals were randomly divided into 16 in HII group, 15 in MIC group, and 16 in the controls. HII group received HII exercise, MIC group received 8-week MIC exercise while the control group did not receive any exercise intervention. IHTG and visceral lipids were assessed pre- and post-intervention.Results
Baseline and clinical characteristics showed nonsignificant difference among the 3 groups (P?>?.05). Both HII and MIC groups showed a significant reduction in hepatic fat and visceral lipids (P??.05) after completing the study intervention. Postintervention analysis showed nonsignificant changes between the HII and MIC groups (P?>?.05).Conclusions
Exercise training wither HII or MIC aerobic exercise reduces IHGT and visceral lipids in diabetic obese patients with NAFLD. No differences were observed between the effects of both exercise programs on diabetic obese patients with NAFLD.
