n obese individuals, the exercise provides metabolic,
neuromuscular, anthropometric and psychological benefits.
It is an important preventive factor and reduces the effects
of obesity and promotes a protective effect against the
development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). PESO III is a
program of physical exercises performed in a public hospital
in Brazil that included aerobic and stretching exercises
performed in two weekly sessions of up to 60 minutes each,
and patients are encouraged to increase the number of steps
walked daily. Participants performed the exercise sessions
according to their physical condition. They were instructed
to perform the exercise within the scheduled time frame,
but were permitted to stop it at any time as necessary.
Patients participating in this program achieved a significant
reduction in body weight, pain and an improvement in
functional capacity. This model, we evaluated in a clinical
trial with objective to investigate the effect of an exercise
program with and without cognitive-behavioral therapy,
compared to a control group, on weight, functional capacity,
and cardiometabolic profile of morbidly obese individuals in
pre bariatric surgery. In this research, we observed that, in
4-month, twice-weekly supervised program of low-intensity
physical activity that encourages individuals to adopt
more active lifestyle can positively interfere in evaluated
parameters with and without the aid of group sessions. We
will discuss about how to motivate and prescribe exercises
for morbidly obese individuals and to assess the importance
of exercise in pre and post bariatric surgery is fundamental.
