abstract = {Background Previous studies have investigated weight loss caused by exercise following bariatric surgery. However, in most
cases, the training programis poorly reported; the exercise type, volume, and intensity are briefly mentioned; and the sample size,
selection criteria, and follow-up time vary greatly across studies.
Purpose The EFIBAR study aims to investigate over 1 year the effects of a 16-week supervised exercise program, initiated
immediately after bariatric surgery, on weight loss (primary outcome), body composition, cardiometabolic risk, physical fitness,
and quality of life in patients with severe/extreme obesity.
Material and Methods The EFIBAR study is a parallel-group, superiority, randomized controlled trial (RCT), comprising 80
surgery patients. Half of the participants, randomly selected, perform a 16-week supervised exercise program, including both
strength and aerobic training, starting immediately after the surgery (7–14 days). For each participant, all primary and secondary
outcomes are measured at three different time points: (i) before the surgery, (ii) after the intervention (≈4 months), and (iii) 1 year
after the surgery.},
