Investigation of the Effects of Whole Body Vibration Application on Muscle Functional Level, Physical Fitness and Respiratory Parameters After Bariatric Surgery

Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of whole body vibration on muscle functional level, physical fitness and respiratory parameters after bariatric surgery.

Hypotheses of the study:

H1: TVV after bariatric surgery has an effect on the functional level of the muscle.

H2: TVV after bariatric surgery has an effect on physical fitness. H3: TVV after bariatric surgery has an effect on respiratory parameters. H4: TVV after bariatric surgery has an effect on quality of life. H5: TVV after bariatric surgery has an effect on body composition. H6: TVV after bariatric surgery has an effect on biochemical parameters.

Patients will be divided into 3 randomized controlled groups. Whole body vibration application group, resistance exercise group and control group.

The whole body vibration group will exercise on the device 3 days a week. Resistance exercise group will exercise with resistance band 3 days a week. All exercises will last 6 weeks. The whole body vibration, resistance exercise and control groups will be recommended to walk 7 days a week.

Conditions

• Obesity & Overweight
• Morbid Obesity
• Morbid Obesity Requiring Bariatric Surgery

Interventions

OTHER

Resistance Training

The resistance exercise training group will be given resistance exercise with theraband for 6 weeks in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program. The exercise protocol will be performed 3 days a week, 1 time a day, 1 day supervised. The evaluation sessions of the individuals will be face to face. Sessions will start with a 5-minute warm-up exercise, resistance exercise protocol will be applied, and will end with a 5-minute cool-down exercise.

OTHER

Whole Body Vibration

The WBV training group will be given exercises on the WBV device in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program. The exercise protocol will be performed face to face, 3 days a week, 1 time a day for 6 weeks. Individuals will be evaluated and exercise sessions will be conducted face to face. Exercise sessions will be performed under the control of a physiotherapist and each patient's heart rate, fatigue perception, dyspnea perception and saturation will be monitored. Individuals will be asked to report any negative experiences during or after the application.

OTHER

Control Group

Individuals will be informed about what they should do after bariatric surgery, what they should do during the treatment process and physical activity, they will be advised to walk regularly for 30 minutes a day, 7 days a week and they will be informed about the things to pay attention during walking.
