Journal ArticleDOI
Lifestyle interventions for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in adults: a systematic review.
TL;DR: Lifestyle modifications leading to weight reduction and/or increased physical activity consistently reduced liver fat and improved glucose control/insulin sensitivity and limited data suggest that lifestyle interventions may hold benefits for histopathology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance exercise reduces liver fat and its mediators in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease independent of weight loss
Kate Hallsworth,Gulnar Fattakhova,Kieren G. Hollingsworth,Christian Thoma,Sarah R. Moore,Roy Taylor,Christopher P. Day,Michael I. Trenell +7 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to demonstrate that resistance exercise specifically improves NAFLD independent of any change in body weight and the long-term impact of this now requires evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-intensity interval training: a review of its impact on glucose control and cardiometabolic health
TL;DR: Whether the acclaim surrounding HIIT is justified is explored by examining the effect of HIIT on glucose control, its ability to affect cardiovascular function and the underlying mechanisms of the changes observed in those with common metabolic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modified high-intensity interval training reduces liver fat and improves cardiac function in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a randomized controlled trial.
Kate Hallsworth,Christian Thoma,Kieren G. Hollingsworth,Sophie Cassidy,Quentin M. Anstee,Christopher P. Day,Michael I. Trenell +6 more
TL;DR: Modified HIIT reduces liver fat and improves body composition alongside benefits to cardiac function in patients with NAFLD and should be considered as part of the broader treatment regimen by clinical care teams.
Journal ArticleDOI
High intensity intermittent exercise improves cardiac structure and function and reduces liver fat in patients with type 2 diabetes: a randomised controlled trial
Sophie Cassidy,Christian Thoma,Kate Hallsworth,Jehill D Parikh,Kieren G. Hollingsworth,Roy Taylor,Djordje G. Jakovljevic,Michael I. Trenell +7 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to demonstrate improvements in cardiac structure and function, along with the greatest reduction in liver fat, to be recorded following an exercise intervention in type 2 diabetes.
