About
Since 2017, ALD patients can be prescribed Adapted Physical Activity (APA) on prescription. However, this possibility of prescription remains relatively unknown and little used by doctors, while the benefits of APA in particular in chronic diseases are well established and 30% of adults in France do not reach the recommendations of WHO on physical activity. These obstacles to prescription are well known thanks to studies on the subject (lack of information on Sport-Health networks, lack of training in APA prescription, poor financial support, lack of support for deliver to patients).
To overcome this lack of implementation, the city of Amiens, via the Office des Sports d'Amiens Métropole (OSAM), has implemented since September 2022 tools to help prescribe APA: blocks pre- filled certificates of absence of contraindication and prescription of adapted physical activity.
In other areas of health, such as breastfeeding, performing motivational interviewing has improved patient compliance. Patients with chronical disease consult a doctor from the Amiens metropolitan area recruited beforehand who informs them of the existence of the physical activity promotion program of Amiens Métropole. After obtaining their consent and establishing a certificate of no contraindication, the patients will be randomized by a random draw into two groups: motivational interviewing (ME) and control group (GT). Upon entry into the program, all patients will be seen for an assessment of their physical condition at the premises of Amiens Métropole by a teacher in adapted physical activity (APA) in order to be assessed and directed to a club or a approved associations. The EM group will also benefit from a motivational interview at 0 and 3 months by a doctor trained in the technique. The entire cohort will complete the SF12 (perception of quality of life) and IPAQ (current level of physical activity) questionnaires at 0 and 6 months during the usual appointments with the APA teacher.
