What this trial studies

This program aims to improve adherence to physical activity among individuals with chronic diseases by implementing a 16-week adapted physical activity (APA) regimen. The study will evaluate the motivational factors influencing long-term compliance and assess the cost-effectiveness of the program in terms of healthcare consumption. Participants will be enrolled from a cohort of 2024 patients, who will attend sessions at the Mon Stade Sports Medicine Centre in Paris. The study seeks to address the high dropout rates and low long-term adherence to physical activity programs in this population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older who are affected by a chronic pathology and can commit to attending sessions twice a week.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant or unable to attend the required sessions may not benefit from this program.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly enhance the physical activity levels and overall health of patients with chronic diseases.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have indicated challenges in maintaining long-term adherence to physical activity programs for chronic disease patients, suggesting this approach is both relevant and necessary.
