Effect of exercise on myosteatosis in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Robinson Ramírez‐Vélez, Yasmín Ezzatvar, Míkel Izquierdo, Antônio García‐Hermoso
Abstract
Muscle tissue typically contains only small amounts of adipose tissue, and the excess deposition of adiposity is considered a pathological phenomenon termed myosteatosis. The volume of lipid infiltration tissue was decreased in the exercise group compared with the control group, and muscle attenuation coefficient was increased. Based on the meta-regression analyses, the mean age at baseline and intervention duration did not affect the effect size estimates for lipid infiltration tissue and muscle radiation attenuation.
