Adherence
There is no dose-response relationship for liver enzyme improvement beyond 60 minutes/week of increased physical activity in NAFLD patients.
You don't need to exercise excessively to improve your liver enzymes. Increasing your activity by just 60 minutes per week (e.g., 10 minutes a day) is enough to see significant benefits. Going beyond this threshold does not provide additional liver enzyme improvements, though it may help with weight loss.
GoodQualifiesMEDIUM confidence
There was no dose-response effect on liver enzymes with incremental increases in physical activity above 60 minutes/week.
Why this rating
Based on subgroup analysis within the same RCT.
