About this study

Official title: "Sport on Prescription" in Primary Care for Patients With Long-term Illnesses: From General Practitioners' Prescriptions to the "Maison Sport Santé" System for Adapted Physical Activity

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.

    In Var department (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 regularly. This program helps long-term illnesses patients to restart physical activity by considering their pathology. The "Cap Sport Santé 83" program is composed of 5 stages which aim to encourage adherence to APA practice by relying on the medical prescription system. Throughout the process, the patient is supervised and supported by the program's coordinator.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the program impact on quality of life by the physical component of SF-36 questionnaire

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

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. To evaluate the program impact on quality of life by the mental health and physical components of SF-36 questionnaire

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

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. To evaluate physical activity by 6-minute walk test

    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.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  3. To evaluate physical activity by 30-Second Sit to Stand Test

    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.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  4. Physical activity and sedentary behaviour measured by the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ)

    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.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  5. Body composition measured by ultrasound and waist measurement.

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

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  6. Heart rate and heart rate variability measured with a heart rate monitor

    Heart rate will be recorded

    Measured: Up to 12 months

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

    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.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  8. To measure Body Mass Index (BMI)

    Weight and height will be recorded.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  9. To measure Blood pressure by tensiometer

    Blood pressure will be recorded.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  10. Physical activity and sedentary behaviour measured by accelerometry

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

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  11. Balance function

    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.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  12. Hand muscle strength

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

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  13. Trunk flexibility

    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.

    Measured: Up to 12 months
