Obésité

Résumé

L’activité physique est un adjuvant important dans la prise en charge de la personne obèse. Toutefois, l’obésité est souvent associée à une intolérance à l’effort. L’objectif de cet article didactique est de clarifier les facteurs respiratoires, cardiovasculaires, métaboliques et ostéo-articulaires qui contribuent à l’intolérance à l’effort de la personne obèse. Dans un deuxième temps, les modalités d’évaluation seront présentées dans le but de proposer des activités physiques adaptées à cette population.

Abstract

Physical activity is an important modality in the treatment of obesity. However, obesity is often associated with exercise intolerance. The aim of this didactic article is to clarify respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic and musculoskeletal factors that contribute to exercise intolerance in obese individuals. Evaluation modalities will also be presented, in order to individualize adapted physical activities to this population.
