Summary

This study aims to determine the extent to which different approaches to adapted physical activity coaching influence physical fitness, psycho-behavioral, and anthropometric parameters in patients with stabilized chronic conditions who have been referred to a Sport-Health Center by their physician. The trial includes four parallel groups, distinguishing between two program durations (3 months or 6 months) and the use or non-use of a smartwatch as a tool for monitoring activity. All participants complete 24 sessions of adapted physical activity (APA), in accordance with the standard practices of the La Musse Sport-Health Center, where the study is entirely conducted. However, the distribution of sessions differs by group: two sessions per week over three months or one session per week over six months. Randomization is stratified by age, sex, and baseline fitness level. Assessments are conducted at the following five time points: enrollment (T0), end of the 3-month program (T1), end of the 6-month program (T2), followed by follow-up at 12 months (T3) and 18 months (T4), to observe the durability of the effects after the supervised phase. The primary outcome measure is improvement in physical fitness and anthropometric parameters, objectively measured using tests recognized for their reliability (TDM6, Sit-to-Stand 30s, Timed Up and Go, Sit and Reach, grip strength, BMI, waist circumference). The secondary outcomes focus on changes in motivation toward health-related physical activity (EMAPS), perceived self-efficacy to engage in physical activity (ECS), and self-reported physical activity (IPAQ-SF), which will be collected regularly throughout the program, more frequently than in standard care. A total of 280 patients will be enrolled to ensure sufficient statistical power, taking into account an anticipated loss-to-follow-up rate over 18 months. Data collection and processing will be pseudonymized and conducted on the secure network of La Musse Hospital.

Health and Fitness Program

Common Practices at MSS In the standard setting of MSS La Musse, participants are referred by their primary care physician, a specialist involved in prescribing physical activity programs. Each participant undergoes an individual pre-test guided by the protocols of the National Observatory of Physical and Sports Activities (ONAPS), which assesses various parameters of physical fitness as well as certain psychological aspects (see Appendix - ONAPS protocol). These assessments serve as the basis for referral to a personalized physical activity plan (PPAP), developed jointly with a physical activity instructor. These assessments serve as the basis for referral to a personalized physical activity plan (PPAP), developed jointly with a physical activity instructor. This PPAP defines weekly goals centered on independent physical activity (gentle mobility, self-directed exercises at home), combating a sedentary lifestyle (reducing time spent resting), and participation in supervised sessions (
