Effects of Respiratory Muscle Training on Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Metabolic and Physical Exercise Capacity Parameters Related to Obesity in Post-bariatric Surgery Patients
Obesity is a health condition caused by excessive accumulation of body fat. This condition is linked to the development of chronic diseases and also places increased stress on the respiratory system, leading to respiratory disorders, exacerbation of preexisting respiratory conditions, and a decline in physical capacity and exercise tolerance.
Respiratory muscle training has been shown to have beneficial effects on respiratory function in these patients, although the effects this strategy has on other metabolic and physiological aspects related to exercise and obesity that are affected remain unclear.
Inclusion: Patients diagnosed with obesity within 1 month of bariatric surgery; Both sexes; Ages 18 to 60.
Exclusion: Patients with respiratory conditions that contraindicate physical exercise; Patients with diagnosed heart disease; Patients with psychiatric conditions; Patients with osteoarticular conditions that make physical exercise difficult.
