Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of a home-based exercise training during social isolation due to covid-19 pandemic in patients who undertook bariatric surgery.
Detailed Description
Eligible patients will be invited to participate in the study by phone call. The research team will visit the included patients. All patients giving the written consent will perform the following tests before being randomly allocated into exercise training or control: 1) blood pressure; 2) anthropometric measures; 3) blood sampling; 4) handgrip test; 5) sit and stand test; 6) exercise capacity; 7) nutritional recalls and 8) health-related questionnaires. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to control group (will receive information to keep active and eating healthy) or exercise training group (will receive a telemonitored exercise program through video conference, three times a week, during 3 months). Following 3 months of intervention, the outocomes will be re-assessed.
