Background: Weight regain is one of the most common problems in bariatric patients. Although exercise contributes to maintaining weight, there are currently few studies performed on this population. Objective: To know the effects of a high-intensity exercise program applied 3 years after bariatric surgery on body composition and cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: A 37-month follow-up was performed on 21 patients who underwent bariatric surgery, in which periodic body composition was evaluated. At month 37, participants were divided into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). The EG performed a 5-months of a supervised exercise program. At this point physical fitness, glycemia and cholesterolemia were also evaluated in the EG. Finally, the EG repeated the evaluations 2-months after the end of the program.
