Brief Summary: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease MASLD is the most common liver disease worldwide and is associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome Physical activity and lifestyle interventions are among the most recommended treatments for individuals with MASLD

In this RCT we will evaluate the effect of combined exercise training strength and aerobic training versus strength and high intensity training HIIT The main outcome parameter is the severity of liver steatosis Patients will be recruited at the fatty liver clinic of the UZ Gent
Detailed Description: Physical activity and lifestyle interventions including exercise are recommended for individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease MASLD Weight loss has been found to improve MASLD histologically but exercise alone can also reduce liver fat accumulation even without significant weight loss Exercise has positive effects on chronic inflammation type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM and mitochondrial function in MASLD patients Studies suggest that both aerobic and resistance exercise are effective in reducing fat content and liver enzyme levels in MASLD and thereby generate positive effects on insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular risk The potential of high-intensity interval training HIIT is large in various settings but was never explored in this population Moreover the combination with strength training can have additional health effects which remain to be explored

All subjects are recruited in the liver steatosis outpatient clinic of the university hospital in Ghent by the physicians and researchers of this study After patient selection and obtaining informed consent they will be screened in the rehabilitation center for cardiorespiratory fitness
