Masters Theses, 2020-current
Strong links have been recognized between sedentary time, higher BMI, and waist circumference among post-operative bariatric surgery patients.

Ten post-operative bariatric participants (9 females, 1 male) with BMI of 33.65 ± 2.90 kg/m2, undergoing a 12-week Vigorous Intensity Interval Training (VIIT) program, were assessed for the compensatory mechanisms of sedentary behavior and caloric intake. Participants were evaluated through 4-day food intake records and ActivPal accelerometers, assessed using Nutrition Data System for Research …
