Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to see the impact of a physical exercise programme and respiratory physiotherapy before and after bariatric surgery in obese patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Could it help to avoid decompensation of underlying diseases? Could it reduce the risks associated with the intervention and the number of adverse effects during the postoperative period? Could it reduce the number of patients and encourage early discharge? How does exercise affect epigenetics in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery? Can we correlate epigenectic markers obtained from tissue obtained by invasive procedures such as fat or muscle to those obtained by non-invasive methods such as blood and saliva samples? How does exercise affect the hepatic tissue in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery? And are the any predictive markers in pre-exercise samples that can correlate with the evolution of liver diseases such asl NALFD or NASH? Researchers will compare one group of subjects performing the exercise programme and respiratory physiotherapy and anoher group performing the normal activities of routine clinical practice. Participants, who are on the surgical waiting list for bariatric surgery, will be assigned to one of the two groups. Participants in group 2 will follow the normal procedure before and after surgery. Participants in group 1 will be asked to do a exercise programme and respiratory physiotherapy before and after surgery.
Interventions
- Procedure Pre- and post-operative physical exercise programme
Pre- and post-operative physical exercise programme during 4 weeks before bariatric surgery and during 8 weeks after bariatric surgery for arm 1 participants. A program will be designed according to the needs and preferences of the individual and will include: Aerobic exercise: Activities that mobilize large muscle groups for prolonged periods of time.Walking, running at a slow or moderate pace (especially on a treadmill), cycling, cycloergometer, etc. In addition, due to the characteristics o - Procedure Pre- and post-operative respiratory physiotherapy
Pre- and post-operative respiratory physiotherapy during 4 weeks before bariatric surgery and during 8 weeks after bariatric surgery for arm 1 participants. Breathing exercises: Abdomino-diaphragmatic respiratory control exercises, costo-diaphragmatic respiratory control exercises, costo-diaphragmatic breathing control exercises, exercises with costal expansion and arm elevation and breathing exercises with pursed lips in different positions. Incentive spirometry: Incentive spirometry with t
