Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of resistive exercise on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in obese postmenopausal women. Thirty obese post-menopausal women with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease were participated in this study. They were referred from the outpatient clinic of internal medicine and outpatient clinic of gynecology in Kasr Al Aini Hospital, Cairo University. Their ages were ranged from 45-55 years old with a mean value 48.96±1.98 years and their body mass index (BMI) was ranged from 30-35 Kg/m2 with a mean value 33.56±1.25 kg/m2. All participants were randomly divided into two equal groups (A&B). Patients in group A (control group) were treated by a specific diet program designed by a nutritionist for 8 weeks to reduce their body weight while, patients in group B (Study group) were treated by the same diet program as group (A) in addition to performing a moderate resistive exercise program on a treadmill for one hour 3 times per week for 8 weeks. The resistive exercise program was divided into 3 intervals, 5 minutes warming up, 50 minutes walking on the treadmill which was inclined 2.9 degree and 5 minutes cooling down. The intensity of the moderate resistive exercise program 70% of maximum heart rate was determined through this equation (MHR=220-age). All patients in both groups (A&B) were evaluated by Abdominal ultrasonography ,measuring body weight, body mass index, waist hip ratio, Liver enzymes (ALT, AST), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides before starting and after the end of the treatment program
