About this study

The aim of this study is to increase our knowledge about the effect of physical activity in patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery. The study will provide novel information in two areas. The main objective is to study the effect of physical activity on the weight loss and cardiovascular risk factors. This will be accomplished in a randomized clinical trial in patients, who are eligible for gastric bypass (GB). Patients will be randomized to six month of structured physical activity or standard postoperative counseling. The study will include an exhaustive panel of blood tests related to cardiovascular risk and the most extensive evaluation of structural and functional vascular test done in this patient group so far. In addition the study will provide information of the effect of bariatric surgery per se since both pre- and postoperative investigations are conducted. The study will learn us to what degree it is possible to motivate this group of patients to increased physical activity. All together this will enable us to improve the counseling of the patients undergoing GB.

Read the detailed description

The study will be conducted as a prospective, randomized, controlled, two-group, intervention study. Patients will be recruited among individuals referred to the tertiary center for bariatric surgery. The patients will be asked to participate in the study when they attend the preoperative education for bariatric surgery. Randomization will be performed in blocks ensuring an equal distribution of type 2 diabetes patients in the two study groups.

Participants will be investigated before gastric bypass surgery, six, 12 and 24 month post-operative. Intervention, consisting of structured physical activity will take place from six to 12 month after operation.

The intervention program will continue for six month. The supervised exercise program will take place at the training center consisting of 40 min. sessions two times pr. week for 26 consecutive weeks.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Physical ActivityBehavioural

    The intervention program will continue for six month consisting of two weekly sessions of 40 min exercise supervised by physiotherapists. The supervised exercise program will take place at the training center Fitness.dk in Esbjerg and Kolding. It will be in cooperation with physiotherapists at the Therapy Department of Sydvestjysk Sygehus Esbjerg and the Therapy Department of Fredericia and Kolding Sygehus, Sygehus Lillebælt. The exercise program at the two centers will be equal. In addition the patients will be provided with free access to a fitness center. The patient will be encouraged to do at least 3.5 hours of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Weight loss

    The participants pre-operative weight are measured before gastric bypass surgery. This measure will take place within 2 weeks before surgery. Weight change from baseline will be measured 6, 12 and 24 months post-surgery.

    Measured: Measures 1-2 weeks before gastric bypass, change from baseline 6, 12 and 24 month post-surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Blood tests

    Exhaustive panel of blood tests related to cardiovascular risk. The participants are measured before gastric bypass surgery. This measure will take place within 2 weeks before surgery. Changes in blood analyses from baseline will be measured 6, 12 and 24 months post-surgery.

    Measured: Measures 1-2 weeks before gastric bypass, 6, 12 and 24 month post-surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Physical Activity in people with Morbid Obesity and Inactivity, run by Esbjerg Hospital - University Hospital of Southern Denmark at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Weight loss (time frame: Measures 1-2 weeks before gastric bypass, change from baseline 6, 12 and 24 month post-surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01690728, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Oct 2022.
