Materials and Methods: The related literature was collected in databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, Science direct, and Magiran between 2010 and 2020. Keywords include Obesity, Fatty liver, Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, Physical activity, and NAFLD.
Results: Increased physical activity leads to an improvement in serum liver enzymes, reduced hepatic fat, and a reduced NAFLD grade in some cases. All four types of exercise; aerobic, resistance, HIIT, and combined have beneficial effects in people with NAFLD however through different mechanisms. However, the combined exercise seems more effective than others.
Conclusion: Therefore, physical activity is currently known as one of the non-pharmacological tools of treatment for people with NAFLD. While some study reported the benefits of physical activity in the absence of weight loss, some have linked this benefits to a gradual weight reduction in NAFLD patient. Regardless of the type of exercise, NAFLD patients should participate in regular physical activities to improve their condition.
