Effects of Respiratory Muscle Training on Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Metabolic and Physical Exercise Capacity Parameters Related to Obesity in Post-bariatric Surgery Patients
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral, Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Obesity is a health condition caused by excessive accumulation of body fat. This condition is linked to the development of chronic diseases and also places increased stress on the respiratory system, leading to respiratory disorders, exacerbation of preexisting respiratory conditions, and a decline in physical capacity and exercise tolerance. Respiratory muscle training has been shown to have beneficial effects on respiratory function in these patients, although the effects this strategy has on other metabolic and physiological aspects related to exercise and obesity that are affected remain unclear.

Treatments
Sham_comparator: Control Group
The control group will perform inspiratory muscle training with a simulated device 5 times a week for 12 weeks and usual care.
Experimental: Inspiratory muscle training
Inspiratory muscle training with intensities of 30% to 60% of maximum inspiratory performing 30 repetitions 5 times a week for 12 weeks and usual care.
Experimental: Institutionalized therapeutic exercise + simulated inspiratory muscle training
Aerobic training with intensities of 50 to 65% of the Reserve Heart Rate, neuromuscular training with intensities of 40 to 70% of 1RM and Inspiratory muscle training with simulated inspiratory muscle training, 5 times a week for 12 weeks.
Experimental: Institutionalized therapeutic exercise + inspiratory muscle training
Aerobic training with intensities of 50 to 65% of the Reserve Heart Rate, neuromuscular training with intensities of 40 to 70% of 1RM and Inspiratory muscle training with intensities of 30% to 60% of maximum inspiratory pressure performing 30 repetitions, 5 times a week for 12 weeks.
