Effect of low-volume exercise on hepatic steatosis in adults with obesity plus normal glucose, prediabetes or type 2 diabetes: a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a novel, low-volume combined high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and progressive resistance training (PRT) in overweight/obese adults.

Methods

This randomised control trial compared the effect of regular supervised HIIT combined with PRT (Exercise) with an unsupervised stretching intervention (Control), in previously inactive adults with either normal glucose (NG), pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with body mass index of >25 kg/m². Participants were randomly allocated (1:1) to receive low-volume exercise or control by an online randomisation tool. The primary outcome was the difference in change of hepatic steatosis between Exercise and Control. A prespecified sensitivity analysis was undertaken for
