Interest of Adaptated Physical Activity (APA) on the K Recovery Constant, Reflecting the Rate of Muscle Oxygenation Recovery in Menopausal Women Suffering From Depression

Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon

Summary

APhyDeM is a randomized controlled study investigating the relationship between adapted physical activity and mitochondrial function in postmenopausal women with major depressive disorder. Depression is associated with metabolic dysfunction, including alterations in mitochondrial activity and inflammatory processes. Physical activity has been shown to influence mitochondrial function, yet individuals with depression frequently experience reduced physical activity levels. This study aims to evaluate whether an adapted physical activity program can improve mitochondrial function compared with a control intervention. Mitochondrial function will be indirectly assessed using near-infrared spectroscopy to measure post-exercise muscle oxygen recovery kinetics. The study compares adapted physical activity with a non-physical therapeutic intervention in postmenopausal women receiving care in a psychiatric day hospital setting.
