Eight Weeks of Exercise Training Increases Aerobic Capacity and Muscle Mass and Reduces Fatigue in Patients With Cirrhosis

In a controlled prospective pilot trial, 8 weeks of supervised aerobic exercise training increased peak VO2 and muscle mass and reduced fatigue in patients with cirrhosis. No relevant adverse effects were observed. Larger trials are needed to evaluate the effects of exercise in patients with cirrhosis. ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT01799785.
