Exercise could influence several of these pathways, but ALD-specific evidence remains limited. We therefore evaluated exercise as an adjunct, not a substitute for established care, across the ALD spectrum. Methods: We conducted a structured narrative review of PubMed\/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and publisher records updated through 20 August 2026. Evidence was classified as direct human ALD\/MetALD evidence, direct preclinical alcohol-injury evidence, indirect clinical evidence from MASLD or mixed-etiology cirrhosis, or mechanistic evidence from broader exercise biology. Results: Direct human evidence is predominantly observational. Leisure-time physical activity is associated with lower liver mortality across drinking patterns and with lower odds of at-risk advanced fibrosis in MetALD\/ALD. These associations do not establish the efficacy of structured exercise training. Preclinical alcohol-injury models support redox- and Nrf2-mediated hepatoprotection, whereas proposed effects on AMPK-SIRT1-PGC-1\u03b1 signaling, mitochondrial quality, gut microbial metabolites, myokines, and ammonia handling remain largely extrapolated. Metabolomic studies identify disturbances in redox balance, lipid intermediates, acylcarnitines, bile acids, and amino acid and tryptophan metabolism. These alterations provide candidate endpoints for future trials. Myostatin and decorin are associated with ALD severity, but their responsiveness to exercise is unknown. We therefore propose a stage-specific research and practice framework with explicit safety considerations. Conclusions: Exercise is a promising but unproven multisystem adjunct for ALD. It should complement abstinence support, alcohol use disorder care, nutrition, and standard medical management. ALD-specific trials should integrate metabolomics, liver outcomes, functional measures, sex, alcohol exposure, disease stage, and adverse events.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/metabo16090666","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,10]],"date-time":"2026-09-10T08:07:41Z","timestamp":1789027661000},"page":"666","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Exercise as a Multisystem Adjunct for Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease: Inflammatory Mechanisms, Muscle\u2013Liver Crosstalk, and Translational Gaps"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Jing","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Police Tactics, Fujian Police College, Fuzhou 350007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Sang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Sports Science and Physical Education, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100080, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junjun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Police Tactics, Fujian Police College, Fuzhou 350007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"30","DOI":"10.14309\/ajg.0000000000002572","article-title":"ACG Clinical Guideline: Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease","volume":"119","author":"Jophlin","year":"2024","journal-title":"Am.
