Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the response of liver enzymes to aerobic exercise versus low caloric diet in mild fatty liver patients with central obesity. Methods: The study was carried on 40 patients, 10 male and 30 female, with mild fatty liver, central obesity and elevated liver enzymes. The age ranged between 30-45 years; they were selected from the outpatient clinic of internal medicine in El-Santa general hospital, Gharbia, Egypt, from March 2015 to May 2016. The patients were assigned into 2 groups equal in number. group (1) received a program of moderate intensity aerobic exercise on electronic treadmill (60-70% of Max HR) for 50 min 3 times a week for 8 weeks. group (2) followed a program of low caloric diet for 8 weeks. Both groups underwent liver enzymes (ALT& AST), WC and BMI pre and post program. Results: The results of this study showed that there was no significant difference between group (1) and group (2) in BMI, WC, fat, ALT and AST. Conclusion: It was concluded that moderate intensity aerobic exercise and low caloric diet are effective in decreasing BMI, WC, fat content, ALT and AST in patients with mild fatty liver with no significant difference between both groups |
