The official eligibility criteria

Registry text, reproduced exactly. These are the words the trial's sponsor published on ClinicalTrials.gov. They have not been edited, shortened or rewritten, and they are written for researchers rather than for patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

* 18-80 years of age.

* Eligible for bariatric surgery.

* Willingness to provide informed consent and willingness to participate and comply with the study requirements

Exclusion Criteria:

* Unable to undertake MRI due to size restrictions i.e., shoulder width more than 70 cm.

* History or clinical manifestation of any other significant metabolic, hematologic, pulmonary, cardio- vascular, gastrointestinal, neurologic, immune, hepatic, renal, urologic, muscular, and joint disorders, or cancer that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the candidate ineligible for the study. For example, significant joint pain could interfere with adherence to the exercise program.

* Have objectively assessed cognitive impairment as assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) i.e., total score less than 26.

* Non-MRI-compatible implanted devices or implants.

* Inability to exercise via supine ergometer.

* Unwilling to be assigned at random to the exercise or control intervention.

* Unwilling or unable to adhere to the rigors of the exercise intervention or evaluation schedule over the entire one-year period.

Voxsanity reformats data from public registries into this layout. It does not edit, interpret or add to what the registry published.

Not medical advice.

Individual trial records are refreshed on a rolling basis rather than all at once, so a record may be up to several weeks old. Each trial page and trial card shows the date its own record was last synced. Where a record has lagged, its status, sites and enrolment can differ from the current registry state in either direction, so check the registry link on the trial page before acting on them.
