Fitness, Physical Activity and Movement Analysis in Obese Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery

This study aims to describe the effects of sleeve gastrectomy, the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide, on functional capacity, habitual physical activity, physical fitness (cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness) and gait parameters in severely obese subjects undergoing bariatric surgery. Functional capacity, physical activity, physical fitness and gait parameters will be objectively assessed and compared among candidates seeking sleeve gastrectomy and 6 months after sleeve gastrectomy.
