Item EFECTO DEL EJERCICIO AEROBICO COMBINADO CON FUERZA EN PACIENTES POST BARIATRICOS(2025-02-27) Pintado Zúñiga, Christian Sebastián; Cantuña, Vallejo Paul Fernando; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de FisioterapiaBariatric surgery is an intervention with the purpose of reducing stomach capacity and limiting food intake in obese people with (BMI ≥ 40 or BMI ≥ 35); taking into account that obesity has become one of the most relevant diseases in the world, which is why obesity is known as the pandemic of the 21st century. This research project was carried out with the purpose of analyzing the effect of exercise aerobic combined with strength in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The methodology of the study was a nonexperimental, cross-sectional and correlational design with a qualitative-quantitative approach. Two evaluations were used, the Cooper test to evaluate aerobic capacity, and the muscle strength test using the lower limb bench press. These evaluations were applied to 31 patient patients who have undergone surgery for a Gastric Sleeve or Gastric Bypass at Obesity Hospital in the city of Píllaro. Among the results obtained, it was observed that the results of the aerobic exercise program combined with strength exercises obtained positive benefits in the treated patients, thus achieving an improvement in aerobic capacity, an increase in muscle strength and a decrease in the index of body mass (BMI). It is concluded that this research project obtained positive results for people after bariatric surgery.
