Brief Summary

Adapted Physical Activity (APA) helps to prevent chronic diseases identified as major causes of mortality, particularly cardiovascular diseases and some cancers, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). However, in general population, physical activity levels are below recommendations for nearly 40% of french adults. In France, general practitioners are now authorised and encouraged to prescribe APA to long-term illness patients.

In Var department in France, the " Maison Sport-Santé 83 " has set up a program called "Cap Sport Santé 83" to support patients who received a prescription to practice APA on a regular basis. This program helps long-term illness patients to restart physical activity by considering their pathology.

The aim of this study is to evaluate " Maison Sport-Santé 83 " APA program effectiveness using a rigorous scientific methodology.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the program impact on quality of life by the physical component of SF-36 questionnaire6 months

A high score corresponds to better health/quality of life.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To measure Blood pressure by tensiometerUp to 12 months

Blood pressure will be recorded.

To evaluate physical activity by 6-minute walk testUp to 12 months

The 6-minute walk test allows to classify patients according to their functional capacity degree (4 categories: no limitation, minimal limitation, moderate limitation, severe limitation) by measuring the distance covered by patients in 6 minutes.

Heart rate and heart rate variability measured with a heart rate monitorUp to 12 months

Heart rate will be recorded

Quality of motivation to physical activity measured by the Motivation to Engage in Physical Activity in the Health Context Scale (EMAPS)Up to 12 months

The EMAPS is a motivation scale toward health-oriented physical activity in French which includes 6 components of motivation underlined by self-determination theory. The higher the component scores, the higher the form of motivation associated with that component.

To evaluate the program impact on quality of life by the mental health and physical components of SF-36 questionnaireUp to 12 months

A high score corresponds to better health/quality of life.

Physical activity and sedentary behaviour measured by the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ)Up to 12 months

The GPAQ is an instrument to evaluate duration of vigorous and moderate physical activities covering 3 domains: activities at work, recreational domains and transport domains. Activity is calculated in MET value and classify patients according to 3 levels of physical activity defined as highly active, moderate and low.

Trunk flexibilityUp to 12 months

Trunk flexibility will be assessed through a forward bend test. Once the patient has reached his maximal position, the distance between ground and his fingertips will be measured.

To evaluate physical activity by 30-Second Sit to Stand TestUp to 12 months

Patients will be asked to sit down and stand up without using arms, as many times as possible in 30 seconds. Number of completed repetitions will be recorded.

The more repetitions the patient does, the greater the muscle power of the lower limbs.

Body composition measured by ultrasound and waist measurement.Up to 12 months

Total mass, percentage of fat mass, percentage of lean mass will be measured by ultrasound and recorded as well as waist measurement.

Balance functionUp to 12 months

Patient's balance will be assessed thanks to an equilibrium test on one foot. Time before equilibrium loss will be measured by means of a chronometer.

Hand muscle strengthUp to 12 months

Hand muscle strength will be evaluated thank to a dynamometer which will have to be clutched as much as possible by the patient.

To measure Body Mass Index (BMI)Up to 12 months

Weight and height will be recorded.

Physical activity and sedentary behaviour measured by accelerometryUp to 6 months

Accelerometry evaluate a subject's physical activity using sensors (accelerometers) that measure the body's accelerations and decelerations
