Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Morbid obesity individuals

All subjects participating in the study will be given physical activity incentive program (PAI) individually. After evaluating it is aimed to provide information transfer and motivation support to increase physical activity levels before bariatric surgery within the scope of PAI.

For this purpose, individual face-to-face interviews will conduct with all cases; verbal information will be given about the importance of physical activity, its effects and different levels of severity. The progress of the program will be made with the whats app application.

8-week follow-up chart will be given to the individuals, about the completion of the physical activity follow-up chart prepared in order to raise awareness about the activity levels of individuals in daily life and to increase their physical activity levels.

All subjects will record daily step counts, low, moderate, and vigorous activities on the chart at the end of the day, every day for 8 weeks.
