Study Overview
Brief Summary
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 includes the goal 3 "Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages". One of the essential axes is to promote primary prevention in order to avoid the emergence of diseases and the treatments use with a high environmental impact. Physical activity (PA) is a means of primary prevention known to be very effective in the fight against chronic diseases.
Despite the recommendations on PA, a high number of people are sedentary and in particular in older persons. The main barriers are accessibility and lack of motivation for traditional PA. The investigators believe that the development of cultural pathways could be an excellent way to improve people's health.
The objective of this study is to assess the effects of cultural pathways on the physical abilities, well-being and sustainable health knowledge of sedentary people over 50 years old. This intervention will be compared to a control group visiting a museum freely. The hypothesis is that cultural pathways including games induce enough steps to be considered an effective activity to fight sedentary lifestyle. The number of steps should be higher than the control group. Fatigue, stress and well-being should be improved after the visit as well as sustainable health knowledge.
All the tests will be carried out during the same day by experienced physiotherapists. Physical and well-being tests will be performed before and after the intervention or control. The number of steps taken during the cultural activity will be measured.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of steps during cultural activity in the 2 groups (free visit vs.cultural pathways)
Time Frame: 75 minutes
An activity tracker on the visitor's wrist will measure the number of steps taken while visiting the museum free or with app. Parameter: number of steps.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change from baseline (pre-visit): stress in the 2 groups (free visit vs.cultural pathways)(75 minutes)
- Change from baseline (pre-visit): perceived balance in the 2 groups (free visit vs.cultural pathways)(75 minutes)
- Change from baseline (pre-visit): museum well-being umbrella measures (only intervention group)(75 minutes)
- Change from baseline (pre-visit): fatigue in the 2 groups (free visit vs.cultural pathways)(75 minutes)
- Change from baseline (pre-visit): pain in the 2 groups (free visit vs.cultural pathways)(75 minutes)
- Change from baseline (pre-visit): museum well-being measures (only intervention group)(75 minutes)
- Safety endpoint: pain (Numeric Rating Scale)(3 hours)
- Safety endpoint: fatigue (Numeric Rating Scale)(3 hours)
- Safety endpoint: number of subjects who completed the cultural activity and tests.(3 hours)
- Change from baseline (pre-visit): survey about "sustainable health knowledge" (questionnaire en santé durable in french - QSDFr) in the 2 groups (free visit vs.cultural pathways)(75 minutes)
- Change from baseline (pre-visit): Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC-scale short version) (only intervention group)(75 minutes)
- Change from baseline (pre-visit): Postural control (only intervention group) center of pressure displacement(75 minutes)
- Change from baseline (pre-visit): Postural control (only intervention group) center of pressure velocity(75 minutes)
- Change from baseline (pre-visit): Postural control (only intervention group) center of pressure sway area(75 minutes)
- Change from baseline (pre-visit): gait speed and dual task (only intervention group)(75 minutes)
