Resistance Training following Metabolic-Bariatric Surgery: Motivators, Barriers, and Preferences
The majority of participants in our study engaged in RT. We identified improving overall fitness and limiting strength or muscle loss as motivators, lack of motivation, physical complaints, lack of time and enjoyment as barriers, and professional guidance and a training schedule for RT at home as facilitators, which were correlated to RT uptake after MBS.
