First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a program to reduce sitting time and increase light activity before bariatric surgery helps women with obesity achieve better weight loss and health. Seventy-two women scheduled for surgery will be guided to replace sedentary behavior with movement. Researchers will track fitness, weight loss, and health complications, and also analyze blood and tissue samples to understand how the body responds.
