title: [Impact of a minimum program of supervised exercises in the cardiometabolic risk in patients with morbid obesity].
abstract: 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.
  
  
  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. There were significant changes in weight (-5.3 ± 5.3 kg, p < 0.0001), distance in the 6-minute walking test (69.8 ± 48.6 m, p < 0.0001), systolic pressure (-23.8 ± 27.7 mmHg, p < 0.0001), diastolic pressure (-14.4 ± 8.9 mmHg, p < 0.0001) and Framingham Score Risk (-4.4 ± 5.1, p < 0.0001) in the adherent patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results show that a supervised exercise program of low intensity and frequency might interfere positively on CMR in individuals with morbid obesity.
