NCT00692367

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study will be to determine the effects of physical activity in patients during substantial surgery-induced weight loss. A randomized controlled physical activity intervention trial in a group of patients undergoing bariatric surgery for weight loss. The study will involve two sites with an active bariatric surgery program, which have a strong track record of bariatric surgery research. The study will include 160-200 subjects. Changes in the primary outcome variables will be determined in previous gastric bypass patients as a result of 6 months of moderate physical activity compared to an educational control group not engaged structured exercise.
