Background: Physical activity (PA) is important for the long-term health and weight management of patients who undergo metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). However, the roles of exercise professionals in MBS settings have not been systematically determined.
Objectives: To investigate: (1) who are the professionals implementing PA programming in MBS clinical settings; and (2) what patient-centric tasks do they perform?
Setting: Clinical and academic exercise settings worldwide.
Article Synopsis
- Physical activity (PA) is essential for the long-term health and weight management of patients after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), but the exact roles of exercise professionals in these settings are unclear.
- A study identified that exercise physiologists are primarily involved in PA programming in the U.S., while physiotherapists and other professionals participate internationally, focusing on tasks like exercise supervision and fitness testing.
- Seven key areas of responsibility for exercise professionals were defined, emphasizing the need for clear PA guidelines and the integration of exercise into MBS programs as part of multidisciplinary care.
Presenteeism is an occupational and psychosocial phenomenon with negative impact on the work environment. In addition to causing losses in productivity losses, it also has implications for the state of health of workers. Therefore, presenteeism is likely to become a serious public health problem.

Materials And Methods: This randomized controlled trial investigated the effect of a 4-month low-intensity exercise program (two weekly sessions of 25 min each) on 66 morbidly obese individuals awaiting bariatric surgery. Participants were randomly divided into three groups: EXER, exercise program; EXER + CBT, exercise program plus support group sessions for lifestyle modification, with a CBT; and CONTROL, routine treatment.
Objective: The objective aims at evaluating the impact of a minimum program of supervised physical exercise on functional capacity and cardiometabolic risk (CMR) in patients with morbid obesity.
Material And Methods: By studying cases with pre and post analyses, we have assessed the variations in weight, functional capacity and in CMR, due to the program of supervised aerobic exercise on a weekly intensity of 30 minutes during a period of 6 months.
Results: We have studied 61 subjects, where 34 have only adhered to the intervention.
