Effects of Respiratory Muscle Training on Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Metabolic and Physical Exercise Capacity Parameters Related to Obesity in Post-bariatric Surgery Patients
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.
The present study describes a randomized clinical trial developed for 12 weeks with the purpose of the study is to determine that respiratory muscle training produces positive effects on cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic and physical exercise capacity parameters related to obesity in post-bariatric surgery patients.
The study divides the subjects into two research arms in a relationship of 2 groups per branch: A) Intervention group: institutionalized therapeutic exercise + inspiratory muscle training device versus control group: institutionalized therapeutic exercise + sham device B) Intervention group: inspiratory muscle training device versus control group: sham device, this to determine how the inspiratory muscle training impacts in combination with physical exercise or in isolation versus physical exercise or usual care.
The evaluation criteria are maximum inspiratory pressure, sleep apnea index, sleep quality, resting heart rate, blood pressure, functional capacity, glycosated hemoglobin, lipid profile, body composition and Health-Related Quality of Life; Assessments will be conducted before and after the 12-week program.
