NCT ID NCT07289958

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a program of breathing muscle training and exercise can improve lung function, exercise capacity, and sleep in people who recently had bariatric surgery. Researchers will enroll 52 adults aged 18 to 60. Participants will do supervised breathing exercises and physical training for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach helps with common post-surgery issues like poor exercise tolerance and sleep apnea.
