Interventions
DEVICE

Electro-muscular stimulation using NeuroTrac MyoPlus 2/4

In this pilot study we aim to determine if change in the muscle metabolism can resolve insulin resistance in NAFLD through muscle stimulation by using electro-stimulation. We hypothesise that 6x35 minute sessions per week over a 12 week time scale would mimic effects of resistance exercise on metabolic parameters associated with NAFLD and hepatic steatosis. All 20 participants will have the electro-stimulation intervention.
