“…Promoting physical activity (PA) is essential in the mana gement of obesity, including the severe forms treated by bariatric surgery (Oppert et al, 2021). Despite broad acknowledgment that PA promotes health, has a positive impact on weight regulation, and reduces ADHD symptoms (Cibrian et al, 2021), individuals with combined ADHD and obesity may face more difficulties with behavior change, particularly in terms of adopting regular PA.…”

“…Technologybased PA interventions tend to be effective (Dobbie et al, 2021) and well accepted by young women with obesity, based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology2 (UTAUT2; Hayotte et al, 2021). These technologies exhibit promising implications for physical interventions by making PA more fun and engaging, allow ing for homebased interventions, and delivering feedback while monitoring behavior (Cibrian et al, 2021). Yet even with the use of technology, sustained participation in healthy behaviors remains a critical issue, especially for individuals with special needs, such as those with ADHD.…”

Objective: This study examined the relationships between ADHD symptomatology, the motivations for physical activity (PA) according to self-determination theory, and the acceptability of three PA promotion technologies (active video game, mobile application, and telehealth) according to the dimensions of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology-2 (UTAUT2). Method: A total of 312 women, aged 30.7 ± 7.1 years, followed for obesity with an average body mass index of 34.5 ± 7.8 kg/m², were included in this sub-analysis. Results: Fifty-seven individuals (18.3%) were identified with positive screening symptoms of ADHD. No differences emerged regarding acceptability of technology-based PA. However, individuals with positive screening for ADHD tended to have higher scores for acceptability of active video game on the UTAUT2 dimensions of effort expectancy and hedonic motivation. Conclusion: This study suggests that active video game may be more appropriate than other technologies for individuals with obesity and ADHD symptoms.
