Brief Summary

Obesity, associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often involved in cardiovascular diseases. In our study, we want to promote sport practice to reduce that burden in the first place, and all associated diseases (e.g. cardiovascular diseases) consequently. The aim of this clinical trial is to determine which type of program, conducted in a digital environment associating a mobile application and individual coaching, better improves exercise habits over a 3-month period in overweight or moderate obese OSA patients.

Detailed Description

With automation equipment and the comfort, it has brought, less natural physical activities are required and people do not take the time to do some. Therefore, obesity, associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) up to 60% of cases, has become a heavy burden on the society and the healthcare system, besides the fact that it often involves cardiovascular diseases. Assistance is urgently needed and the investigators want to promote sport practice to reduce that burden in the first place, and all associated diseases (e.g. cardiovascular diseases) consequently. In order to do that, the investigators will integrate sport in the patient pathway and support in his/her involvement. This last point means that a link between medical and sport specialists should be established, and this is missing today.

This study aims to reconcile the world of patients and the world of sport, by offering a trajectory and an organization that help patients to initiate physical activity.

The investigators plan to measure the physical activity of overweight or moderate obese, apneic patients in the different programs at the end of the 3-month period by physical activity objective parameters: number of steps/day.

The secondary objectives of this study are to:

* Evaluate the effect of the different programs of sport "prescription" on patient motivation, over a 3-month period by a motivational questionnaire.

* Analyze the cost effectiveness of the different programs of sport "prescription" over a 3-month period.

* Evaluate the effect of the different programs of sport "prescription" on weight and blood pressure (BP), assessed by home self-measurements each month, over a 3-month period and recorded in the application.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The physical activity of overweight or moderate obese OSA patients in the different programs will be estimated by physical activity objective parameters: number of steps/day.at the end of the 3-month period

The physical activity of overweight or moderate obese OSA patients in the different programs during the 3-month period will be estimated by physical activity objective parameters: heart rate, physical activity type, motion cadence (number of steps/day), energy expenditure, and sleep stage (measured at the end, by an actigraph integrated in the watch).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of the effect of the different programs of sport "prescription" on weight and blood pressure (BP)each month, over 3 months

Monthly self measurement of weight and BP at home, recorded in the application

Evaluation of the effect of the different programs of sport "prescription" on patient motivationover a 3-month period

The evaluation of the effect of the different programs of sport "prescription" on patient motivation will be assessed by a motivational questionnaire.

Cost effectiveness analysis of the different programs of sport "prescription"over a 3-month period.

Monthly cost of the subscription in the sport association, private sport club and rehabilitation medical center will be collected.
