Brief summary
Bariatric surgery has been reported to be the most effective treatment option for losing and maintaining body weight and improving comorbidities and mortality associated with morbid obesity. Nevertheless, even though physical activity is recommended to optimize bariatric surgery results. Very little is known, about whether engaging in an exercise program after surgery can provide additional improvement in health outcomes. While to date there are relatively few researches studied the effect of exercise in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. This study was conducted to explore the influence of Modified Qigong Breathing Exercise on pulmonary function, endurance and fitness on post bariatric surgery patients. Qigong as ancient Chinese traditional medicine have been documented to be effective in treating obesity. Literature showing that the desire to eat and the feeling of hunger, along with prospective food consumption in patients with obesity.

Interventions
OTHERModified Qigong Breathing Exercise
The exercise is recommended to be performed standing, or modified standing with trunk leaning forward and bilateral upper extremities support on countertop. Initial position: Stand up with feet shoulder-width apart, hands down along the body, or put palms on the abdomen. Take a deep breath, squaring shoulders, and pull in belly at the same time. Hold breath for 3 to 4 seconds, while keeping abdomen retracted with maximally contracting abdominal muscles. Exhale, so the shoulders go back to the starting position, while chest and abdominal muscles relax. Repeat this exercise 10 times. Note. If the stomach is difficult to draw in a standing position, it is possible to perform the exercise with both hands resting on support. Duration: 30 minutes, 3 days/ week for 12 weeks
