Abstrakt: Background: Obesity accompanied by visceral fat accumulation is an essential disease background of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Obesity is a key factor and is also directly related to alterations in anthropometric measurements. It has been demonstrated that exercise intervention is the mainstay treatment for NAFLD patients. Therefore, this research investigates a literature review on anthropometric measurements and exercise interventions given to patients with NAFLD. Objectives: To conduct a literature review on the effectiveness of exercise interventions over the anthropometric measurements among non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients. Methodology: Based on available clinical evidence, a literature review will be performed. We identified 21 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that will be analyzed further. Results: According to the results of the investigation, there was not much of a difference in the anthropometric changes that were found as a result of the various exercise regimens on NAFLD patients. Conclusion: Even though there were significant changes in fat parameters such as lipid tests and other outcome measures, there were no immediate significant changes in anthropometric measurements as a consequence of the NAFLD exercise intervention.
