Physical Activity in Bariatric Patients

"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."
