Abstract
PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the transtheoretical model (TTM)-based exercise training on TTM variables, exercise adherence, and physical function in patients in the early stages after bariatric surgery (BS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a single-blinded, prospective, randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the effects of TTM-based exercise training on BS patients immediately after surgery. Participants (n = 120) were randomized into a TTM-based exercise training group (n = 60) and a control group (n = 60). Main outcomes included TTM variables (measured by exercise stages of change (ESCs), exercise self-efficacy (ESE), and decisional balance), exercise adherence, and physical function (determined by the 6-min walk distance (6MWD)). Secondary outcomes were physical activity, anthropometrics, and body composition. We performed all analyses in accordance with the intention-to-treat principle. RESULTS: Retention rates for the interventions were 91.7% for the intervention group and 90.0% for the control group. Compared with the control group, the 12-week TTM-based intervention significantly helped participants advance through ESCs, demonstrate higher ESE, perceive more benefits and fewer barriers to exercise, and show higher exercise adherence and better physical function afterward (all P < 0.05). However, we observed no statistically significant difference between the two groups in anthropometric parameters or body composition after intervention. CONCLUSION: The TTM-based exercise intervention had significant positive effects on the TTM variables, which could further help increase patients' exercise adherence and physical function immediately after BS. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study was retrospectively registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (website: www.chictr.org.cn , registry number: ChiCTR2000039319).
