HIIT exercise for fatty liver disease
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special type of exercise called high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help improve fatty liver disease and related health problems. It may be a good option if you have fatty liver and at least one other health issue like being overweight, having prediabetes or diabetes, or high cholesterol or blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 35 and 65 years old.

- You have at least one health issue like being overweight, having prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, or high blood pressure.
- You do not have a heart or lung condition that makes exercise unsafe.
- You are not taking certain medications (like Ozempic, Jardiance, or more than 2 different blood pressure/diabetes/cholesterol/heart rhythm drugs) or dietary supplements (like fish oil or diet pills).
