What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Introduction: Sedentary behavior (SB) and insufficient physical activity (PA) interact to worsen physical fitness (PF), obesity-related complications and diseases (ORCD), and all-cause mortality in women with obesity. Replacing SB with low-intensity PA may improve PF and ameliorate ORCD, with potential lasting effects after bariatric surgery (BS). However, strong evidence on how PF influences BS outcomes and whether preoperative PA interventions can improve postoperative outcomes is lacking. The BARIMOV study aims to evaluate the effects of a structured sedentary behavior reduction program (SBRPro) on PF, investigate whether PF improvements influence BS outcomes, and explore potential mechanistic pathways by characterizing molecular adaptations in peripheral blood, skeletal muscle, and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Methods: BARIMOV is a prospective cohort study with five assessment tim
