Abstract: Bariatric surgery is an effective measure for treating severe obesity and metabolic-related diseases;however,it carries the risk of postoperative loss of lean mass and skeletal muscle.Exercise,as an important non-pharmacological intervention,is widely recognized for its positive role in weight loss.In the implementation of exercise interventions following bariatric surgery,aerobic exercise,resistance training,and their combination have been found to optimize weight loss outcomes,further improve metabolic status,develop muscle strength,and enhance cardiorespiratory function.To optimize the effects of bariatric surgery and improve the overall health of postoperative patients, future research should consider the surgical procedure,  exercise modalities, and individual characteristics of the patients. Moreover, comprehensive interventions and personalized approaches targeting postoperative health behaviors should also be implemented.

Key words: bariatric surgery, aerobic exercise, resistance training
