Summary

The aim of the current study was to explore the effect of a 6-months motivational physical activity intervention (MPAI) on different psychosocial variables (e.g. motivation, health-related quality of life, self-esteem, etc.) and on the physical activity levels of bariatric surgery patients. Comparing with a control group (CG), we tested the differences obtained on these variables between before surgery and just after the MPAI (7-months after surgery). Additionally, we explored the (possible) prolonged effects of the intervention by doing re-tests 13, 25 and 37- months after surgery.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Motivational Physical Activity Intervention (MPAI)

MPAI was carried out during 6 consecutive months. The sessions were directed by sport sciences professionals, who were trained in the application of motivational strategies based on self-determination theory. The frequency of training, as well as the duration of the sessions, was increasing throughout the 6 months. The contents of the sessions could be directed in two ways: sessions with activities to develop cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength, and playful sessions to enhance psychosocial aspects. Nevertheless, motivational strategies were implemented in both types of sessions.
