Why the study?
Weight regain commonly occurs long-term after bariatric surgery, but whether high-intensity exercise in late post-surgical follow-up counteracts this trend is unknown.
Does a high-intensity exercise program improve body composition and cardio-metabolic profile in patients 3 years after sleeve gastrectomy?

21 patients after 3-year follow-up from sleeve gastrectomy
Comparison
5-month supervised exercise program vs usual care
Design
Randomized trial
Follow-up
5 months with 2-month post-program evaluation in the exercise group

Supervised late exercise may temporarily curb fat regain and improve markers after sleeve gastrectomy; leaves open sustained efficacy, requiring larger trials.
Does a high-intensity exercise program improve body composition and cardio-metabolic profile in patients 3 years after sleeve gastrectomy?
A 5-month high-intensity exercise program implemented 3 years after sleeve gastrectomy helps prevent weight regain and improves cardiometabolic markers, though these benefits begin to reverse upon cessation of the program.
