A New Model of Exercise Referral Scheme Before and After Bariatric Surgery for People With Obesity

This intervention will also utilize a geographical time app to raise awareness about participants' sedentary lifestyles, helping them identify opportunities to incorporate more movement into their daily routines. Furthermore, the program will implement the Wheel of Change behavior technique, which serves as a structured approach to facilitate lasting changes in health behaviors, empowering participants to take control of their physical activity levels and overall well-being.

This intervention will be conducted with two weekly days of supervised and structured physical activity sessions, held at the university's facilities, providing participants with expert guidance and a supportive environment to enhance their physical fitness and overall health.

In this intervention, bariatric surgery will be performed, accompanied by the usual hospital care, which includes comprehensive nutritional and physical activity advice. This standard care ensures that participants receive essential guidance and support for their dietary and exercise routines, complementing the surgical intervention.
