Physical Activity Profile and Glycemic Control Among Qatari Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: Effect
of Vaccination Status. Front Public Health 12.

Objective: To investigate the impact of COVID-19, as an influent barrier on physical activity (PA)
patterns and glycemic control in Qatari adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). As the COVID-19
vaccine may have a potential impact on an individual's lifestyle, we also considered this parameter.
Physical activity level, the exercise barriers (BAPAD1), anthropometric characteristics, the method
of insulin administration, and the last glycated hemoglobin in % were completed by 102 Qatari
adults with T1D. Moreover, all patients were asked whether they had “been vaccinated” or had a
“fear of being infected by COVID-19”.For the unvaccinated group, weight, BMI and HbA1c (%)
were significantly higher than those of vaccinated group (p < 0.01) and engaged in less moderateto-vigorous PA (MVPA) (p < 0.01) per week and had less time in vigorous PA (VPA) (p < 0.01).
A significant association between VPA levels and BMI (β = −0.36, p = 0.02) and HbA1C (%) (β =
−0.22; p = 0.03) was reported, and “being vaccinated” was significantly associated with MVPA (β
= 0.15; p = 0.021) and VPA (β = 0.28; p = 0.032). A higher “Fear of being infected by COVID-19”
score was negatively correlated with reduced PA profiles (R2 = −0.71 for MVPA; R2 = −0.69 for
VPA, p < 0.01, respectively).
Practicing VPA during the COVID-19 pandemic confer many health benefits for Qatari individual
with T1D. As the “Fear of being affected by COVID-19” appeared as a potential barrier to PA
practices this latter e.g. PA, could likely not be achieved without the participants being vaccinated.

Exercise Prescription in Adults With Obesity: The Effect on Post-Bariatric Surgery Outcomes.

This systematic review summarizes current evidence on the relation between preoperative physical
activity (PA) levels with bariatric surgery (BS) outcomes and on the beneficial role of preoperative
exercise/PA program among BS candidates. This systematic review suggests that candidate patients
accumulating the preoperative PA level improved several BS outcomes. These improvements were
reported mainly for anthropometric and cardiometabolic parameters and physical function.
Observed improvements manifested during a distinct period of time in response to a wide variety
of exercise programs. Evidence on the preoperative PA level as well as on preoperative exercise
implementation on BS outcomes is advocated despite the small number of participants and lack of
control. Thus, further studies are required to explore the most effective and suitable form of exercise
prescription prior to BS while considering physical and psychological limitations of obese patients.
