Abstract

Objective: The objective aims at evaluating the impact of a minimum program of supervised physical exercise on functional capacity and cardiometabolic risk (CMR) in patients with morbid obesity.

Material and methods: By studying cases with pre and post analyses, we have assessed the variations in weight, functional capacity and in CMR, due to the program of supervised aerobic exercise on a weekly intensity of 30 minutes during a period of 6 months.

Results: We have studied 61 subjects, where 34 have only adhered to the intervention. There were significant changes in weight (-5.3 ± 5.3 kg, p < 0.0001), distance in the 6-minute walking test (69.8 ± 48.6 m, p < 0.0001), systolic pressure (-23.8 ± 27.7 mmHg, p < 0.0001), diastolic pressure (-14.4 ± 8.9 mmHg, p < 0.0001) and Framingham Score Risk (-4.4 ± 5.1, p < 0.0001) in the adherent patients.

Conclusion: The results show that a supervised exercise program of low intensity and frequency might interfere positively on CMR in individuals with morbid obesity.
