Summary

It has been demonstrated the essential role of physical activity in the prevention of overweight and obesity. Nevertheless, the effect of a program of physical activity on the maintenance of body weight in subjects who have previously followed a dietary intervention is still unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate this topic by evaluating the effect of two different programs of physical activity on subjects who have followed a dietary intervention but presented again NAFLD a year after the treatment.

Conditions

  • NAFLD

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Endurance Activity (EA)

Subjects have followed a program of endurance activity consisting in a 30 minute walk, 5 times/week. Exercise intensity started from the 60% of the maximum heart rate and raised up to the 75%.

BEHAVIORAL

EA + Resistance Training (RT)

Subjects have followed a program combining endurance activity (EA) and resistance training (RT) consisting in a 60 minute work session, 3 times/week consisting in: * Walk (30 minutes): exercise intensity started from the 60% of the maximum heart rate and raised up to the 75%. * Musculation (30 minutes): training of the bigger muscle groups (chest, shoulders, arms, abdomen, back, glutei and legs). Exercise intensity started from the 65% of the maximum rated load and raised up to the 75%.
