Hybrid Exercise After Bariatric Surgery
This quick quiz looks at what happened when adults followed a hybrid exercise plan after bariatric surgery. The key question is whether training changed strength and fitness, even as body composition kept shifting.
Test your knowledge
After bariatric surgery, how did a hybrid exercise program affect the physical and metabolic health of adults compared to a control group?</h2> <div id="options" class="options"> <ul> <li class="option">A) The exercise program prevented all early postoperative reductions in resting metabolic rate and lean body mass.</li> <li class="option">B) The exercise program did not change the body composition or muscle strength compared to the control group.</li> <li class="option">C) The exercise program provided associated benefits by improving muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, and physical activity levels.</li> <li class="option">D) The exercise program only resulted in increased physical activity levels, but no impact on muscle strength or cardiovascular fitness.</li> </ul>

The science, explained
The research found that while the exercise did not prevent early weight loss, the hybrid program provided significant benefits by improving muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak), physical activity, and other functional outcomes.
