Exercise physiology in cirrhosis and the potential benefits of exercise interventions: A review [PDF]

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2021
AbstractReduction in muscle mass is a highly prevalent phenomenon in cirrhosis and is now well‐documented to be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Research into muscle loss in cirrhosis remains limited by an ongoing poor understanding of its relationship with muscle function, physical activity, and aerobic capacity.
