The goal of this 12-week clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness of different exercise types in treating Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and to explore their impact on myokine levels associated with lipid metabolism. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants in this study will engage in assigned exercise routines randomly, including HIIT, resistance training, or FATmax exercises. Additionally, motivational interviewing techniques will be employed to assess their impact on lifestyle changes. Researchers will compare the outcomes among the different exercise groups, along with a control group receiving only standard care for NAFLD. This comparison aims to determine the respective effects of these interventions on both NAFLD and associated myokine levels.
