Overview
Hypoactivity leads to an increased risk of chronic diseases. Reduced physical activity leads to a higher risk of metabolic syndrome and obesity. Metabolic syndrome and obesity also lead to a higher prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Lifestyle changes including optimal nutrition and increased physical activity are key aims in the treatment of NAFLD patients. Sedentary lifestyle and hypoactivity lead to an increased risk of developing NAFLD. Increasing physical activity through exercise that is characterized by planned, structured and repeated physical activity with specific intensity, frequency and duration has beneficial effects on NAFLD. An important effect of exercise is to reduce weight and intrahepatic fat. The mechanism of action of the exercise can also be explained by improving insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial function, and affecting myokines. The most commonly applied forms of exercise include aerobic exercise, strength exercise and high-intensity interval type of exercise
