Adapted Physical Activity Coaching for Chronic Disease Patients
Official title: Sustainability of the Effects of an Adapted Physical Activity Program on Physical Fitness and Psycho-behavioral Factors in Patients With Chronic Diseases: the Influence of Program Duration and the Use of a Smartwatch
Run by Hopital La Musse · NCT07495891 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether different lengths of adapted physical activity coaching, with or without a smartwatch, help adults with chronic diseases improve physical fitness and related behaviors.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults over 18 with a physician-diagnosed chronic condition, French-speaking, enrolled in Social Security, and referred for APA by a doctor.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not adhere to the session schedule or who have contraindications to physical exertion may see limited or no benefit.

What this trial studies
Four parallel groups will participate in a supervised adapted physical activity program at La Musse Sport-Health Center. Participants are randomized by age, sex, and baseline fitness to one of two program durations (3 months or 6 months) and to use or not use a smartwatch for activity monitoring. All participants complete 24 sessions, with the schedules differing by group (2 sessions/week for 3 months or 1 session/week for 6 months). Assessments occur at enrollment, after the 3-month program, at the end of the respective follow-up, and at two additional time points to evaluate sustainability of effects. The study aims to measure changes in physical fitness, psycho-behavioral factors, and anthropometric parameters in adults with stabilized chronic conditions referred to the Sport-Health Center by their physician.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could identify practical coaching formats and monitoring strategies that sustain physical activity benefits in chronic disease patients.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies suggest adapted physical activity with monitoring can improve outcomes; this study evaluates sustainability and smartwatch impact in a real-world clinical setting.
