Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The main strength of this study is the concomitant use of validated accelerometer and questionnaire, which allowed characterizing physical activity as well as identifying the limitation of assessing physical activity using subjective methods during the Covid-19 pandemic. Also, the comparison between patients who were adherent and non-adherent to social measures enhances our ability to establish causation. The limitations of this study include the reduced sample size and the cross-sectional nature of the study, which hampers a definitive conclusion on the causal effect of social distancing on physical activity. In conclusion, post-bariatric patients who were adherent to social distancing to contain the Covid-19 pandemic were more inactive and sedentary than those who were non-adherent. Given the increased burden of cardiovascular diseases related to inactivity and sedentary behavior, strategies to increase physical activity level in post-bariatric patients, particularly those exposed to social distancing, are of emergent need during the Covid-19 pandemic.
