Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Extending the "Passerelle" System for Prescribing Adapted Physical Activity to Patients With Type 2 Diabetes in Nouvelle-AQUItaine (France)

Sponsor: University Hospital, Bordeaux

Summary

Type 2 diabetes is on the increase worldwide. Two major risk factors have been identified: overweight and physical inactivity. National and international recommendations encourage general practitioner to guide patients in changing their lifestyle. As regards physical activity in France, general practitioner have been able to prescribe adapted physical activity (APA) for their patients since 2016. In type 2 diabetes, it is known that physical activity interventions are cost-effective. However, these interventions are often too expensive and far removed from real life. It is also known that the benefits of intervention increase up to 18 months, then diminish to zero at 36 months. In Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, the "PEPS Sport-santé network", offers physical activity coaching for patients who are not sufficiently active: the "Passerelle" program. Patients can benefit from a weekly physical activity session for 6 months. The investigators would therefore like to assess whether extending the existing "Passerelle program" by 6 months, with one session every 15 days, is effective in maintaining the volume of physical activity 12 months after the end of the intervention.
