What this trial studies
This quasi-experimental study evaluates the effectiveness of a physical literacy-based intervention for managing chronic diseases in adults. Participants will engage in adapted physical activity sessions that incorporate physical literacy elements, with assessments conducted at the start, three months, and six months into the program. The study compares three groups: a control group, a traditional adapted physical activity group, and a group focused on physical literacy. The aim is to determine how these interventions impact physical literacy levels and health outcomes over time.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with one or more diagnosed chronic diseases who are enrolled in the Citoyen en mouvement pour ma santé program.
Not a fit: Patients without a formal diagnosis of chronic disease or those with severe mobility limitations may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could enhance physical activity engagement and improve health outcomes for patients with chronic diseases.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using physical literacy approaches for health promotion, indicating potential for success in this intervention.
