Effect of a randomised 12-week resistance training programme on muscular strength, cross-sectional area and muscle quality in women having undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a 12-week resistance training programme on fat-free mass ( FFM ) , muscle cross-sectional area , muscular strength and muscle quality in women who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery . Participants were 16 women ( mean age = 44.9 ± 10.2 years ) from bariatric surgical groups who were r and omly assigned into either a  control or an intervention group  . Air displacement plethysmography measured FFM and magnetic resonance imaging measured quadriceps muscle cross-sectional area and whole thigh muscle cross-sectional area . Muscular strength and quality was assessed using an estimated 1-Repetition Maximum assessment . All measurements were collected twice , at baseline and at a 12-week follow-up . There were significantly greater improvements in leg press strength ( mean differences = 55.4 % , P < 0.001 , Cohen ’s d = 2.4 ) , leg extension strength ( mean differences = 18.0 % , P = 0.014 , Cohen ’s d = 0.86 ) and leg press muscle quality ( mean differences = 54.5 % , P < 0.001 , Cohen ’s d = 1.9 ) in the intervention group compared to the control group following the resistance training programme . The resistance training intervention significantly improved muscular strength and quality ; however , it did not illicit changes in FFM or muscle cross-sectional area in women who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery
Preoperative and post-operative intensive interventions improved symptoms of depression and anxiety , quality of life , diastolic blood pressure , and resting heart rate but not lipids or glycaemic measures .
