Patterns of physical activity and sedentary behavior after bariatric surgery: An observational study

Our sample spent>70% of time in SB, half of which was accumulated in uninterrupted bouts≥30 minutes. Very little time was spent in moderate or vigorous PA (5%), and this was accumulated in short bouts (<10 minutes). Healthcare professionals should target not just overall time in SB and PA, but also aim to reduce prolonged periods of SB and increase sustained periods of PA.
