Longitudinal associations between self-regulation and physical activity behavior following metabolic bariatric surgery; an exploratory study
After MBS, patients exhibited low self-regulation 1-year post-surgery, and many participants faced growing difficulties in self-regulating over time. Self-regulation at 1-year was positively linked to MVPA, with action control only, being associated with MVPA at 5-years. However, no bidirectional associations from MVPA to self-regulation were found. These findings suggest further research is needed to test interventions targeting action control to improve MVPA adherence and optimize surgical outcomes and overall health after MBS.
