Overview
Brief Summary
Bariatric surgery has been reported to be the most effective treatment option for losing and maintaining body weight and improving comorbidities and mortality associated with morbid obesity. Nevertheless, even though physical activity is recommended to optimize bariatric surgery results. Very little is known, about whether engaging in an exercise program after surgery can provide additional improvement in health outcomes. While to date there are relatively few researches studied the effect of exercise in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.
Detailed Description
This study will investigate the effect of core stabilization exercise on patients who underwent bariatric suergery.
