•Prospective participants must be aged 50 years or older and postmenopausal (spontaneous amenorrhea for at least 12 months); community-dwelling, scheduled for any type of bariatric surgery within the next six months; have surgeon approval to commence FIT; English-speaking, able to walk across a room unaided; with access to a smartphone connected to an internet network; willing to complete an 8 month intervention and also be willing to participate should they be randomised to either intervention arm.

•Participants are ineligible if they currently reside in a nursing home; are unable to walk across a room unaided, are non-English speaking or have difficulty communicating with study personnel due to speech or hearing problems; have body weight greater than 200kg (upper weight limit for DXA); have had lower limb joint injury or surgery in past 6 months; fracture within the last 6 months; have conditions known to influence bone health; use drugs that interfere with bone metabolism; pre-existing malabsorption or protein supplement use; are planning to be away from home for 4 weeks during the intervention; and self-reported diagnosis of: progressive neurological disorders; severe knee or hip osteoarthritis that would interfere with ability to complete functional exercise and tests; cardiovascular disease; lung disease requiring regular use of corticosteroids or supplemental oxygen; renal disease requiring dialysis; hyper- or hypothyroidism that would interfere with the weight loss program; or any cognitive or physical impairment or disability that in the opinion of the participant’s’ GP/specialist and/or study investigators would result in the participant having difficulty interacting with the Physitrack application or performing unsupervised exercise safely. Finally, participants must answer ‘no’ to all six questions on the Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) pre-exercise screening tool to ensure that it is safe for them to exercise at moderate exertion.
