Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is now the most common cause of chronic liver disease in children and adolescents in United States. Over the last 2 decades, the rise in the prevalence rates of overweight and obesity likely explains the emergence of NAFLD as the leading cause of liver disease in pediatric populations worldwide . At present, diet and life style modification(physical training) are the best treatment options as pharmacological management of NAFLD has had disappointing results. The current study was conducted to detect the effect of weight reduction alone , or diet compained with aerobic exercise on liver enzymes and lipid profile and fasting glucose in obese children suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Thirty children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease were divided randomly into this study from department of internal medicine, faculty of medicine, Cairo university hospitals, Their ages ranged from 10-16 years, subjects were divided randomly into two equal groups (A&B). Group A (control group) received only diet treatment intervention for 6 months. Group B (study group) received aerobic exercise training in addition to diet regimen for 6 months. All participants were evaluated before the first session of treatment and at the end of treatment through: physical evaluation which include (weight, height, body mass index), lipid profile, liver enzymes. Conclusion: On comparing the pre and post treatment values of all measurement, results revealed significant improvement of both groups, yet the improvement was more obvious and more significant in group B(diet and exercise group).According to the results of the present study it could be concluded that diet companied with exercise significantly reduces blood lipids and improve liver enzymes. There were also reduction in body mass index and obesity more in group (B)
