Effect of presurgical aerobic exercise on cardiometabolic health 30 days after bariatric surgery.

ABSTRACT: We evaluated the effect of preoperative standard medical care (SC) vs. unsupervised aerobic exercise combined with SC (EX + SC) on cardiometabolic health and quality of life (QoL) 30 days after bariatric surgery. Bariatric patients (n = 14, age: 42.3 ± 2.5 years, body mass index: 45.1 ± 2.5 kg/m² ) were match-paired to presurgical SC (n = 7) or EX + SC (n = 7; walking 30 min/day, 5 day/week, 65-85% HR_peak ) for 30 days. Body composition, peak cardiorespiratory fitness (VO₂ peak), QoL, inflammation (adiponectin, leptin, cytokeratin-18), and a 120 min mixed meal tolerance test was performed to assess aortic waveforms (augmentation index, AIx@75), insulin sensitivity, and glucose total area under the curve (tAUC) at the time of surgery (post-intervention) and
