This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This 12-week study is testing whether breathing muscle training—special exercises that strengthen the muscles you use to breathe—can help people who have recently had weight loss surgery feel better and get healthier. Researchers want to see if these breathing exercises work best on their own, combined with regular exercise, or if regular exercise alone is enough. They'll measure changes in heart health, lung function, blood sugar, fitness, and how you feel overall.
After weight loss surgery, people often struggle with breathing, heart health, and physical fitness. This study wants to find out if targeted breathing exercises can help fix these problems and improve recovery.

You'll come in for tests before and after the 12 weeks to measure your heart health, breathing strength, blood sugar, fitness level, and sleep quality. During the 12 weeks, you'll visit 5 days a week to do either breathing exercises with a special device, regular exercise, or a combination of both—depending on which group you're assigned to. Each session will last about an hour, combining aerobic training, strength work, and breathing exercises.
