Abstract :

Introduction: Fatty liver is recognized as a pathophysiological condition in people with type 2 diabetes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of exercise (intermittent and periodic) training on new markers of fatty liver in women with type 2 diabetes in Kashan.Materials and methods: Thirty women with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into three groups: periodic exercise (n= 10), continuous exercise (n= 10) and control group (n= 10). Experimental groups performed pre-specified exercises for 8 weeks. Blood samples were taken from three groups before and after 8 weeks of exercise protocol. Covariance analysis was used to test the research hypotheses. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis.Findings: The results of the present study showed that LAP and FLI decreased significantly after continuous and intermittent training compared to the control group, although no significant change was observed in the HSI and FSI variables.Conclusion: The results showed that 8 weeks of continuous and intermittent exercise significantly decreased LAP and FLI in women with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, it is recommended to include a weekly exercise program in these patients.
