Summary

Background: Weight reduction, especially of visceral fat in patients awaiting bariatric surgery (BS), may facilitate the surgical process, and reduce postoperative complications. Normally, to achieve weight reductions a nutritional treatment is prescribed, but the effects of exercise on these patients have been little studied.

Objectives: To know the effects of an exercise program on body composition and cardiovascular risk factors in patients awaiting BS.

Methods: Twenty-three patients awaiting BS were divided into two groups: a) an experimental group (EG, n = 12); b) a control group (CG, n = 11). Both groups received the usual care prior to surgery, but the EG also performed a 12-week exercise program in which endurance and resistance training were combined. Body composition, anthropometric measures, cardiovascular risk factors, physical fitness, basal metabolic rate and quality of life were assessed at baseline and at the end of the study.
