Resistance Exercise Therapy
4 weeks of Resistance Exercise Therapy. This is a 4 week resistance exercise training programme that can be completed at home. The programme is designed to be progressive. It was designed by a bariatric physiotherapist and an exercise physiologist. This exercise programme will be discussed at the screening visit, educational material will be provided to the participants who are randomised to the intervention RET group. Safety advice will be given to each eligible participant to ensure that if they feel unwell, develop chest pain/tightness, then they must seek advice from GP/urgent care if necessary. The exercises will need to be performed at least three times a week. Compliance will be monitored with Fitbit downloads at each visit. Fitbits will be worn during exercise sessions only.
