About This Trial
The purpose of this project is to assess the effects of bariatric surgery on muscle structure and function as well as investigating the feasibility of undertaking an exercise intervention post-surgery.
More detail
A single-centre feasibility research programme based at the Royal Derby Hospital centre of the University of Nottingham. This is an exploratory and feasibility study. Muscle structure and function of 12 patients will be assessed before bariatric surgery and at 6 weeks, and then 10 weeks, after surgery. After 6 weeks, participants will be randomised into two groups. Group 1 will undergo a 4 week Resistance Exercise Training (RET). Group 2 will undergo standard care procedure. The total duration of programme we are aiming for is 13-14 weeks prior to bariatric surgery and exercise intervention for 4 weeks after bariatric surgery.
