About this trial
The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness of collagen, considered a new approach to prevent muscle mass loss after bariatric surgery, and to demonstrate the relationship between this effect and exercise. The key questions it aims to answer are:
Does whey protein supplementation with collagen combined with resistance exercise prevent muscle mass loss after bariatric surgery? Do whey protein supplementation with collagen combined with resistance exercise affect fat mass after bariatric surgery?
Researchers will compare collagen with whey protein.
The study groups and interventions to be implemented are summarized below:
Group 1: Control Group (CG; n: 10) Whey protein supplementation will be administered Vitamin and mineral supplementation will be administered No resistance exercise will be performed The participants will eat according to bariatric surgery nutrition guidelines and perform physical activities.
Group 2: Whey Protein + Collagen + Exercise Group (WPCEG; n: 10) Whey protein supplements with collagen will be given. Vitamin and mineral supplements will be given. Resistance exercise will be performed. They will eat according to bariatric surgery nutrition guidelines and perform physical activities.
They will begin a resistance exercise program 4 weeks after surgery.
Group 3: Whey Protein + Collagen + No Exercise Group (WPCG; n: 10) Whey protein supplements with collagen will be given. Vitamin and mineral supplements will be given. No resistance exercise will be performed. They will eat according to bariatric surgery nutrition guidelines and perform physical activities.
Group 4: Whey Protein + Exercise Group (WPEG; n: 10) Whey protein supplements will be given. Vitamin and mineral supplements will be given. Resistance exercise will be performed. They will eat according to bariatric surgery nutrition guidelines and perform physical activities.
A resistance exercise program will begin at 4 weeks post-operatively.
