First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can change how the brain works in people who have regained weight after bariatric surgery. Researchers will use brain scans and questionnaires to measure changes in brain connectivity, appetite, and mood. The goal is to understand the link between exercise, brain function, and weight control, which could inform future obesity treatments.
