After bariatric surgery, exercise is recommended for most patients. Generally 30 minutes per day is the recommended amount. But several patients exceed these goals. How might this additional exercise affect their health?
A recent study by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center et. al. analyzed responses from 12 large studies involving 370,460 men and women about their exercise habits. They found that those that followed their 30 minutes per day regimen specified by the American Heart Association (AHA), showed a slight decrease in heart failure (compared to those who did not exercise at all) but those who doubled and quadruple the amount of exercises had lowered their risk by 20 to 30 percent.
