    Adaptación transcultural del cuestionario para valoración del fitness cardiorrespiratorio: CLINIMEX Aerobic Fitness Questionnaire
    (Sociedad Chilena de Medicina del Deporte, 2025) Cancino, Jorge
    Objetivo: Adaptar transculturalmente al español chileno el CLINIMEX Aerobic Fitness Questionnaire para estimar el fitness cardiorrespiratorio. Métodos: Se realizó una traducción inicial por dos traductoras bilingües de lengua materna chilena y una retrotraducción por dos traductores bilingües de lengua materna portuguesa. Luego, un comité de expertos revisó el cuestionario antes de su aplicación a un primer grupo de 40 personas mayores de 18 años. Tras confirmar su comprensibilidad, se aplicó la versión final a un grupo de 20 personas. Resultados: En la primera fase, un 27,5% (n=11) tuvo dificultades con el término “hatha”, un 10% (n=4) con “spinning”, un 7,5% (n=3) con “hidrogimnasia” y un 2,5% (n=1) con “musculación”. En el segundo grupo, el fitness cardiorrespiratorio estimado fue de 10.8±2.8 METs (rango 5-16). Conclusión: Se logró la adaptación del cuestionario CLINIMEX al español chileno. Esta adaptación constituye un paso fundamental para avanzar en el proceso de validación del instrumento en nuestra población y entregar una herramienta sencilla para la valoración clínica del fitness respiratorio. Objective: To carry out the cross-cultural adaptation of the CLINIMEX Aerobic Fitness Questionnaire intoChilean Spanish for the estimation of cardiorespiratory fitness. Methods: An initial translation was performed by two bilingual translators whose native language is Chilean Spanish, followed by a back-translation by two bilingual translators whose native language is Portuguese. A committee of experts then reviewed the questionnaire before it was administered to a first group of 40 individuals aged 18 and older. After confirming its comprehensibility, the final version was administered to a second group of 20 participants. Results: In the first phase, 27.5% (n=11) had difficulties with the term “hatha,” 10% (n=4) with “spinning,” 7.5% (n=3) with “hydrogymnastics,” and 2.5% (n=1) with “strength training.” In the second group, the estimated cardiorespiratory fitness was 10.8±2.8 METs (range 5–16). Conclusion: The CLINIMEX questionnaire was successfully adapted into Chilean Spanish. This adaptation represents a key step toward the validation of the instrument in our population and provides a simple tool for the clinical assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness.

    Early Exercise Boosts Visceral Fat Loss Post‑Bariatric Surgery in the First Month
    (Springer Nature, 2025) Cancino, Jorge
    This letter to the editor addresses critiques of a clinical study evaluating the efficacy of an early, counseling-based physical exercise intervention in post-bariatric patients. The authors highlight the paucity of research regarding proactive modification of body composition within the initial postoperative month, focusing particularly on visceral adipose tissue mass. The implemented protocol consisted of a home-based, unsupervised resistance training regimen employing elastic bands, initiated between postoperative days 5 and 7, following individualized in-hospital familiarization and audiovisual instruction. The intervention demonstrated high feasibility, safety, and clinical applicability, especially for populations with limited access to direct supervision during the early postoperative period. No adverse events were reported. The significant reduction in visceral adiposity observed is underscored as a clinically relevant proxy for improved metabolic risk profile. The use of subjective scales of perceived exertion (such as the Borg Scale) is justified when objective monitoring devices are unavailable. The authors recommend that future research prioritize the identification of determinants influencing patient adherence to exercise prescription within post-bariatric rehabilitation frameworks, aiming to optimize therapeutic outcomes.
