Summary

This trial tests whether a modified qigong breathing exercise can improve lung function, core endurance, and overall fitness in people who have had bariatric surgery. Participants, aged 18 to 25 and at least six months post-surgery, will practice the breathing routine for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in breathing capacity, core strength, and body composition to see if this gentle exercise adds extra health benefits after weight-loss surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Modified Qigong Breathing Exercise
What this could lead to
If effective, this simple breathing routine could become a low-cost way to boost lung function and core endurance in people recovering from bariatric surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with no comparison group, so results may not be conclusive. The exercise is gentle, but any new routine carries a small risk of strain or discomfort.
