Personalized physical activity program for bariatric surgery candidates

Persistent Organic Pollutants and Mechanical Discharge: Limiting the Impact of Bariatric Surgery Through Personalized Adapted Physical Activity

Not applicable Interventional Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice · NCT06597617

This study is testing a personalized exercise program for people with severe obesity who are about to have bariatric surgery to see if it helps reduce harmful chemicals in their blood and improves their health after losing weight.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on patients with severe obesity who are scheduled for bariatric surgery. It aims to investigate the effects of personalized adapted physical activity on the release of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) into the bloodstream, which can have adverse health effects post-surgery. The intervention includes aerobic and strength training tailored to the individual needs of the participants. The study seeks to understand how these activities can mitigate the negative impacts of massive weight loss on metabolism and neuromuscular function.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-55 who are scheduled for bariatric surgery and engage in limited physical activity.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have contraindications to physical activity will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance recovery and overall health outcomes for patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

How similar studies have performed: While the specific approach of addressing POPs in bariatric surgery candidates may be novel, similar studies have shown that tailored physical activity can improve outcomes in obesity management.
