| Core Tip |
We investigated the association of chronic hepatitis B and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis with physical fitness in a large population of young adult Taiwanese military males. The results demonstrated that men with chronic hepatitis B had fewer 2-min push-up numbers than unaffected men, whereas men with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis had longer time to complete a 3000-m run and fewer 2-min sit-up numbers than unaffected men. Our findings suggest that chronic hepatitis B and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis might influence different physical performances. The mechanisms underlying the relationship between hepatitis and physical fitness are not fully understood and further investigations are needed. |
