This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After bariatric surgery, people often lose weight quickly, but they can also lose important muscle mass and strength during recovery. This trial tests whether a structured 5-week exercise program—combining aerobic activity and resistance training—can help preserve muscle quality and improve daily function and quality of life compared to usual care alone.
Doctors know that rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery can harm muscle strength and how well patients recover. This study fills a gap by testing whether early exercise during recovery can prevent muscle loss and help patients feel stronger and healthier sooner.

You would attend 10 supervised exercise sessions over 5 weeks (2 sessions per week, about 60 minutes each), starting 4 weeks after your surgery. The sessions combine aerobic exercise and resistance training. You would also do one guided home-based exercise session per week on your own. At the beginning and end of the study, you'll have assessments to measure your muscle strength, body composition, and quality of life.
