Abstract

Bariatric surgery complemented by a comprehensive bariatric care program can lead to improvement in physical activity, as well as weight loss and improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness. The positive associations of change in leisure activity with weight loss and change in sport activity with cardiorespiratory fitness suggest that bariatric care programs can enhance postoperative outcomes by improving the patient's physical activity.
