Abstract	Objective: To determine whether the conduct of a supervised aerobic exercise program in patients with chronic type C hepatitis with undergoing treatment produces improvement in physical capacity, quality of life and reduction of fatigue, without altering the liver’s function. Material and methods: We conducted a pilot study, longitudinal, prospective, randomized, comparative, open, which included 22 patients divided into 2 groups, an experimental group and a control group. On admission to the study all participants were assessed in physical and functional ability, fatigue, quality of life, anthropometric characteristics and laboratory tests. The experimental group attended the Rehabilitation Service to make a supervised program of aerobic exercise 3 times per week, meanwhile, the control group was only informed of the benefits of exercise and how to make it at home. After 8 weeks of intervention the parameters measured were re-evaluated. Results: The experimental group made significant improvement in physical capacity, function, quality of life and decreased fatigue without significant changes in laboratory tests. The control group presented no changes in any of the variables studied. Conclusion: Our study concludes that the implementation of a program of supervised aerobic exercise in patients with chronic hepatitis, is effective for improving physical capacity, functionality, quality of life and to reduce fatigue, which occur without significant changes in the liver’s function.
