Summary

Literature have shown the benefit of practicing regular physical activity during and after cancer treatment, particularly in terms of improving quality of life. The French Fencing Federation has thus developed an adapted physical activity program (Solution RIPOSTE) specially intended for patients with breast cancer. Adapted fencing sessions (saber) are thus offered to these patients in a perfectly secure context (i.e. compulsory medical-sports evaluation and trained fencing master). Since 2016, this RIPOSTE program has been implemented in several fencing halls in Lorraine. Our research project (controlled, randomized trial) aims to assess the impact of the practice of adapted fencing on the quality of life of patients, the functional capacities of the operated side (shoulder) and on the reduction of the sides effects of treatments. Our hypothesis is that such an adapted fencing program improves quality of life as well as functional abilities.
