Although most individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are inactive and do not achieve recommended amounts of physical activity (PA), regular PA has been shown to have various benefits. These benefits include a reduction in liver fat, improvement in body composition, cardiovascular fitness, vascular biology, and health-related quality of life. This roundtable document discusses the benefits of PA and provides recommendations for PA assessment, counseling, and prescription, as well as when to refer to an exercise specialist.
Although physical activity (PA) is crucial in the prevention and clinical management of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, most individuals with this chronic disease are inactive and do not achieve recommended amounts of PA. There is a robust and consistent body of evidence highlighting the benefit of participating in regular PA, including a reduction in liver fat and improvement in body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, vascular biology, and health-related quality of life. Importantly, the benefits of regular PA can be seen without clinically significant weight loss. At least 150 min of moderate or 75 min of vigorous intensity PA are recommended weekly for all patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, including those with compensated cirrhosis. If a formal exercise training program is prescribed, aerobic exercise with the addition of resistance training is preferred. In this roundtable document, the benefits of PA are discussed, along with recommendations for 1) PA assessment and screening; 2) how best to advise, counsel, and prescribe regular PA; and 3) when to refer to an exercise specialist.
