About this study
Official title: Effectiveness of Adapted Physical Activity Programs in Preventing Falls in People Aged Over 65: a Prospective Multicenter Study Carried Out Within the Maisons Sport Santé of Ile de France Departement
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Adapted Physical Activity (APA) programs offered by Sport-Health Centers (MSS) in reducing the risk of falls in the elderly.
Read the detailed description
The effectiveness of adapted physical activity in preventing falls will be assessed by the evolution of SPPB before and after APA.
Evaluate the impact of APA on physical tests such as the UGT, the single-legged support test, to predict the risk of falling.
- Evaluate the impact of APA on risk factors associated with the risk of falling, such as fear of falling, overall perception of one's health, and depression.
All tests will be assessed at baseline and at the final visit 3 months after APA

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
SPPB Short Physical Performance Battery
This composite score is based on three tests: a balance test, a walking speed test, and the chair rise test
Measured: Twice throughout study at baseline and 3 months after intervention
