Özet
Objective: The aim of this study was the effects of the core stabilization exercise program (CSEP) and physical activity counseling on functional capacity, physical fitness, physical activity, fatigue and quality of life (QoL) in obese people awaiting bariatric surgery. Methods: Twenty-one patients were divided into two groups: an exercise group (n = 10) and a control group (n = 11). Both groups received physical activity counseling, but the exercise group also performed an 8-week CSEP. Functional capacity, physical fitness, physical activity, fatigue and QoL were assessed at baseline and after 8 weeks. Results: After eight weeks, results showed significant improvements in all parameters except for body composition for the exercise group, comparing to the control group (effect size = 0.40–0.87, p < 0.05). Conclusions: Implementing an 8-week adding CSEP to physical activity counseling provided significant improvements in functional capacity, physical fitness, physical activity, fatigue and QoL compared to physical activity counseling in obese people awaiting bariatric surgery.
