Evaluation of the Feasibility of a Physical Activity Program Adapted for Primary Care, for People Aged 70 and Over Who Have At Least One Long-term Illness
Elders aged 70 and over, living in Toulouse, with a chronic disease identified by the French social insurance as an Affection Longue Durée will be eligible to a 4 months physical activity program in a primary health center. This program will be proposed by their general practitioner. The aim of the study is to establish the feasibility of such program conduced exclusively in primary care.
The number of elders aged 70 and over and suffering of a chronic disease are increasing in our country. These patients are at risk of sarcopenia which can lead to an increasing risk of falls and hospitalization, loss of autonomy, and morbi-mortality. Twelve weeks adapted physical activity program can manage sarcopenia in elders. One of the difficulties to propose such a program to elders patients is the difficulty to reach the program center due to mobility deficiency. Our hypothesis is that proposing an adapted physical activity in a primary health care center, in the city of the patient, could help the participation.
Eligible patients addressed by their general practitioner will perform 4 months adapted physical activity program in the CAPA-CITY center (MSPU La Providence).
The inclusion will be realized by the sports doctor of CAPA-CITY. At M2, sport doctor and adapted physical activity teacher will meet the patient to readapt the program taking in count his particularity and wishes.
At M4 M6 and M12, an independent global evaluation will be realized by training nurse and clinical research associate.
