Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
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.

Modified Qigong Breathing Exercise
The exercise is recommended to be performed standing, or modified standing with trunk leaning forward and bilateral upper extremities support on countertop. Initial position: Stand up with feet shoulder-width apart, hands down along your body, or put palms on the abdomen. Take a deep breath, squaring shoulders, and pull in belly at the same time. Hold breath for 3 to 4 seconds, while keeping abdomen retracted with maximally contracting abdominal muscles. Exhale, so the shoulders go back to the starting position, while chest and abdominal muscles relax. Repeat this exercise 10 times. Note. If the stomach is difficult to draw in a standing position, it is possible to perform the exercise with both hands resting on support.
