RESUMO
PURPOSE: The feasibility of early telerehabilitation after bariatric surgery is unknown. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and perception of engaging in the online exercise protocol in patients during the first month after bariatric surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 67 patients, enrolled in a telerehabilitation program following bariatric surgery, completed a survey assessing their perception of the intensity, discomfort, and safety during exercise sessions. RESULTS: Forty percent of participants began exercising between 5 and 10 days after surgery. Seventy-one percent of patients did not experience discomfort during the first month of exercise, and those who reported discomfort mainly mentioned dizziness and abdominal pain. No significant differences were found in the presence of discomfort among different types of surgeries performed. There was a significant difference in the presence of discomfort between patients who started exercising before and after 15 days of surgery, with less discomfort reported in the group that started after 15 days. Ninety-eight percent of patients felt safe during online exercise sessions. Most participants perceived the intensity of the sessions as moderate. The most frequently mentioned benefits of exercise were increased energy, mood, and feeling more active. CONCLUSION: Telerehabilitation conducted during the first month after bariatric surgery was feasible and well tolerated by patients, providing a safe alternative for those patients who face difficulties with in-person interventions.

Actualmente, existe una mayor evidencia acerca de los efectos positivos de la actividad física, y en especial del ejercicio, sobre algunas enfermedades del sistema gastrointestinal, lo cual tiene relación principalmente con su rol antiinflamatorio a nivel sistémico. Sin embargo, es necesario considerar algunas variables del ejercicio, tales como el volumen e intensidad de éste. Específicamente, el realizar ejercicios de larga duración y alta intensidad, asociados a estados de deshidratación, postprandiales y con altas temperaturas ambientales, podría contribuir a la expresión fisiológica del síndrome gastrointestinal inducido por el ejercicio y a la aparición y/o empeoramiento de los síntomas en las enfermedades del tracto gastrointestinal. Si se controlan dichas variables, realizar ejercicio aeróbico de moderada intensidad y, adicionalmente, durante menos de 60 minutos, serían seguros para disminuir el riesgo y controlar de mejor manera los síntomas de algunas patologías gastrointestinales.
Currently, there is an increase evidence about the beneficial effects of physical activity, particularly of physical exercise in some diseases of the gastrointestinal system, related to its systemic anti-inflammatory role. However, it is necessary to consider some of the exercise variables such as volume and exercise intensity. Specifically, the execution of long duration and high intensity exercises, together with a state of dehydration, postprandial and high environmental temperature, could contribute to the physiological expression of the exercise-induced gastrointestinal syndrome and the expression and/or worsening of gastrointestinal diseases symptoms.

Physical exercise is useful in people who underwent bariatric surgery. However, the right dosage is still a topic for discussion. The aim of this article is to consolidate the prescription criteria for physical activity and exercise in bariatric patients. A panel of experts to whom the topics were previously assigned for review, met to reach a consensus. Each topic was presented and subjected to discussion and voting by the participants and attendants who were exercise professionals from different obesity treatment centers. We report the conclusions reached for aerobic exercise, strength training, protein supplementation and physical activity for weight maintenance in bariatric patients.
