Summary

There is no specific treatment for endometriosis, because the pathophysiology is poorly understood.

Adapted physical activity (APA) is recognized as a beneficial supportive care for patients suffering from chronic pathology. Adapted physical activity can play a role in managing endometriosis symptoms. Studies have shown that regular physical exercise can help reduce pain, improve quality of life and alleviate symptoms related to chronic diseases.

However, it is known that few women with endometriosis have regular physical activity because of pain, chronic fatigue that lead to activity limitation or even disability.

This study provides an opportunity to evaluate the impact of regular APA practice on improving the quality of life and symptoms of women with endometriosis in Martinique.

Based on this, APA could be included in the endometriosis care pathway in Martinique.

Conditions

  • Endometriosis

Interventions

OTHER

Adapted physical activity (APA)

Adapted program: aerobic capacity, strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and proprioception tests. APA sessions take place over 12 weeks. There will be 2 to 3 sessions per week. Course of a session: - Warm-up: 10-15min: cycling or walking. - Moderate-intensity endurance activity: cycling, walking or swimming: 10min, the duration will be increased gradually up to a minimum of 30min at the end of the program. - Muscle strengthening: with polyarticular or monoarticular exercises targeting the upper limbs or lower limbs in alternation and sheathing. At the beginning: 8 exercises per session and 8 repetitions, 1 time per week. Objective will be to increase the number of repetitions and then integrate other exercises to reach 10 exercises with 12 repetitions, 2 times per week. - Stretching and balance: learning to stretch the muscle groups worked and then working on proprioception (bipodal, monopodal station, then double task). - Quiet time: relaxation through breathing 5 min.
