Effects of Exercise Training in Individuals Undergoing Bariatric Surgery

Summary

The subject of the research; Effects of exercise training on cardiometabolic risk factors and functional capacity in individuals undergoing bariatric surgery.

Purpose of the research; Cardiometabolic risk factors, body composition, muscle strength and endurance, posture, foot sense, physical exercise capacity, balance, pain, exercise benefits - barriers, exercise self-efficacy, exercise beliefs, to evaluate the effects on body esteem, body image and quality of life.

Method of Research:

Post-surgical interventions are important in individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery. Intervention programs that include exercise, encourage the change in the lifestyle of individuals, effectively and accurately reduce post-surgical obesity. Functional Exercise Training, which can also be used for obesity treatment, consists of stretching, aerobics, strengthening and balance training. Therefore, it has a positive effect on body systems. In addition, Home Exercise Training can be used within the scope of obesity treatment. Exercise is one of the alternative methods by providing the adaptation of the individual to the exercise. Socio-demographic and physical characteristics of individuals will be recorded. Laboratory tests will be ordered for cardiometabolic risk factors. Body composition will be determined by Tanita brand body analysis monitor (MC-780MA). Posture will be evaluated by photogrammetry technique. Muscle strength assessment will be evaluated by leg, back and hand dynamometer instrument, muscle endurance tests, sensory assessment by foot sense assessment, physical capacity with physical exercise capacity tests, balance static and dynamic balance tests and pain questionnaire. Exercise benefits-barriers will be assessed by Exercise Benefits Barriers Scale, exercise self-efficacy by Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale. Exercise beliefs will also be questioned with a questionnaire. Self-esteem will be evaluated for all groups before and after treatment. The self respect will be evaluated by using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, body image with the Body Image Scale, with the quality of life using the Obesity-Specific Quality of Life Scale.The training will be carried out 3 days a week for 8 weeks, approximately 1 hour. Sufficient number of assessments and exercises will be used for individuals to become familiar with the equipment and training protocol.

Functional Exercise Training Group

Training will start with Stretching Training and end with stretching training. Stretching exercises targeting actively applied shoulder girdle, chest, neck, trunk, hip, front and back leg and ankle muscle groups will be given. Afterwards, it will be continued with Aerobic Exercise Training. The training will be given on the treadmill "Treadmill Technogym". Afterwards, it will be continued with Strengthening Training. Strength training will consist of a strengthening program that includes the lower extremity, upper extremity, trunk and core region. Elastic bands will be used in the training. Then, balance training will be given at the end.
