Regular physical activity (PA) supports the long-term success of bariatric surgery. However, integrating health-enhancing physical activity in daily life requires specific competences. In this study, we evaluated a multimodal exercise programme to build these competences.Forty adults who underwent bariatric surgery were randomised to a multimodal exercise programme or control group. Primary outcomes were the facets of PA-related health competences, namely the control competence for physical training, PA-specific affect regulation, motivational competence and PA-specific self-control. Secondary outcomes were PA behaviour and subjective vitality. Outcomes were assessed before, directly after the intervention and at 3 months follow-up.Significant treatment effects were found for control competence for physical training and PA-specific self-control but not for PA-specific affect regulation and motivational competence. Significant treatment effects were further observed for self-reported exercise and subjective vitality, all in favour of the intervention group. In contrast, no treatment effect was found for device-based PA. Overall, this study provides a foundation for future research to optimise long-term post bariatric surgery outcomes.
