Brief Summary

Obesity is classified using body mass index (BMI) (BMI ≥25 overweight, BMI ≥30 obese, BMI ≥40 morbidly obese). Obese patients are Class 1 according to BMI; BMI:30-34.9 and Class 2; BMI: It is classified as 35-39.9. Patients with classes 1 and 2 will be included in the study. Obesity can be accompanied by comorbidities such as atherosclerotic vascular and cardiac pathologies, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, so obesity treatment should be managed multidisciplinary. The basic approach to obesity treatment is diet, exercise, medical treatment, treatment of comorbid conditions and surgery. Aerobic exercise therapy, which is one of the conservative approaches in the treatment of obesity, also has an important place in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases associated with obesity. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (AKD) is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Negative changes in functional capacity, quality of life and psychosocial situations are observed due to disorders associated with this disease. Physical activity is among the modifiable risk factors in atherosclerotic diseases. However, patients have a fear of movement related to angina-like symptoms, with the thought that the symptoms may recur during exercise. Lack of physical activity due to fear of movement leads to obesity, which in turn leads to aggravation of atherosclerosis and an increase in the incidence of cardiovascular events, which negatively affects individual and psychosocial capacity. Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is a non-invasive procedure that evaluates the individual's capacity during dynamic exercise and provides diagnostic and prognostic information. CPET is based on the investigation of the respiratory system, cardiovascular system and cellular response to exercise performed under controlled metabolic conditions. It allows holistic evaluation of the response to exercise, including not only the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems but also the musculoskeletal system. Fear of movement or kinesiophobia; It is defined as a state of fear and avoidance of activity and physical movement resulting from the feeling of sensitivity to painful injury and repeated injury.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale

    Fear of movement or kinesiophobia; It is defined as a state of fear and avoidance of activity and physical movement resulting from the feeling of sensitivity to painful injury and repeated injury. This scale, consisting of 17 items, evaluates how afraid patients are of moving their bodies. A high score indicates a high level of fear of movement, while a low score indicates a negligible level of fear of movement. Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert Scale.

    week 0, 8th week, 20th week

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Cardiopulmonary exercise test

    week 0, 8th week, 20th week

  • 6 Minutes Walking Test

Study Arms (2)

hospital exercise group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

According to the Cardiopulmonary exercise test (KPET) test in Group 1 (medium intensity continuous exercise group), 50 minutes (5 minutes warm-up, 40 minutes exercise, 5 minutes exercise, 5 minutes warm-up, 40 minutes exercise, 5 minutes) for 8 weeks, 3 days a week, at an exercise intensity of 50-60% of the VO2 max level recorded individually in the patients. Aerobic exercise therapy will be organized to be applied on a treadmill (in the form of a minute cool-down).

Other: aerobic exercise on the treadmill+For both groups, patients will be recommended joint range of motion (ROM), stretching, strengthening, posture and balance and flexibility exercises for all joints.

home exercise group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

For the home exercise group, walking for 50 minutes, 3 days a week, with an intensity of 12-13 Rate of perceived exertion (RPE) according to the Modified Borg scale will be recommended for 8 weeks.

Other: Walking at an intensity of 12-13 RPE+For both groups, patients will be recommended ROM, stretching, strengthening, posture and balance and flexibility exercises for all joints.
