Summary

Medical students are under great competitive pressure throughout their studies. Our field surveys conducted in 2022 and 2023 at the Lyon Est Faculty of Medicine revealed that 78% of 482 students showed an excessive sedentary lifestyle compared to the threshold set by WHO. It is expected that a low level of physical activity and/or too high a sedentary lifestyle deteriorates significantly their quality of life and their health. In 2014, a British survey of 356 students in Medicine showed that lack of physical activity was an major predictor of burnout symptoms. Numerous studies show that regular physical activity improves the mental health of students and their cognitive performance.

The PROMESS - PHYSICAL ACTIVITY project aims to offer solutions to students to decrease their sedentary behavior and to improve their physical activity level during their medical studies through an intervention program. From a long term perspective, this intervention may also prevent disorders related to inadequate levels of physical activity and/or sedentary behavior. It responds to a demand expressed by students : our previous field study showed that 45% of fourth-year students declared being "very interested and/or interested" in following an intervention that aimed at improving physical activity. The objective of this study is to determine the influence of an intervention based on sedentary behavior reduction and physical activity promotion among medical students.

Conditions

  • Health Behavior
  • Health-Related Behavior
  • Physical Inactivity
  • Sedentary Behavior
  • Sedentary Time

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Sedentary and physical activity behaviors

The intervention will consist of three individual sessions, each lasting one hour, with approximately 15 days between each session. The sessions will be scheduled as follow: Week 5 and 6 (session 1), week 7 and 8 (session 2), week 9, 10, and 11 (session 3). During these sessions, subjective and objective indicators related to sedentary behaviors and the physical activity levels will be recorded to assess the progress of each student.
