Beschreibung: INTRODUCTION. Regular physical activity is strongly recommended to cope with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). AIM. To examine the impact of an eight-week calisthenics exercise versus high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in NAFLD patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS. At Cairo University’s Faculty of Physical Therapy-Outpatient Clinics, 32 male and female NAFLD patients were randomly divided between HIIT (n = 16) and calisthenics exercise (n = 16) for three days per week for the period of eight weeks, all patients in two groups receiving the appropriate medication (Statins 5 mg). The outcome measures were liver ultrasonography and serum lipid profile. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. Following eight weeks of intervention, the analysis of data indicated that calisthenics and HIIT had no significant differences in their effects on plasma lipids and liver US results (p 0.05). CONCLUSION. No significant differences were noted in lipid profiles and liver US results between the exercise groups, implying that both calisthenics and HIIT could serve as effective treatment strategies for NAFLD.
