Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To verify whether there is a difference in the effects of a structured prehabilitation program carried out in a home-based or in-person format, on the physical and psychological aspects of obese individuals awaiting weight reduction (bariatric) surgery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To investigate whether there is a difference in the adherence rate of obese patients undergoing bariatric surgical preparation who undergo home-based intervention compared to those who undergo face-to-face intervention. ;To identify the tolerance, safety, and feasibility of a home-based prehabilitation program for obese individuals awaiting weight-loss (bariatric) surgery.;To analyze whether there are differences in the effects of the home-based intervention compared to the in-person intervention on functional capacity, quality of life, depression, anxiety, and mood states of severely obese patients awaiting weight-loss (bariatric) surgery.
