Abstract
Purpose: To examine the impact of aerobic exercise therapy program on bone mineral density (BMD) after bariatric surgery Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) to improve bone density and decrease risk of fracture in adults. Method of examination was Ultrasound Bone Densitometer (Calcaneal). Methodology: Thirty patients of both sexes with diminished bone density one year post mixed bariatric surgery procedure Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) were included in this study. Their ages ranged from 25 to 40 years, they were assigned randomly into two equal groups: Study group (A) received aerobic exercise program (three times /week) plus calcium (1.2{u2013}1.5 g/day) and vitamin D (400 IU/day) supplementation therapy, for 12weeks. Control group (B) received calcium (1.2{u2013}1.5 g/day) and vitamin D (400 IU/day) supplementation therapy only, for 12weeks. The measurements were done before the study and after 12 weeks of treatment for both groups. Results: It showed increased degree of improvement in T-score mean value for study group (A) more than control group (B). There was a highly significant difference between two groups after the treatment. Conclusion: There was significant effect of aerobic exercise on bone density after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) in adults
