Trial Outcomes & Findings for Prospective Evaluation of the Impact on Patients' Quality of Life of a 12-Week Adapted Physical Activity Program (APA) (NCT NCT04675814)

NCT ID: NCT04675814

Last Updated: 2026-01-27

Results Overview

Describe the evolution of the quality of life of patients being treated for their cancer pathology at the ICO site in Angers, and participating in the 12-week adapted physical activity program at ICO. Quality of life is measured with the FACIT-F Fatigue and Quality of Life Questionnaire. The questionnaire is structured into five sections, each containing between 6 and 13 items. In total, it includes 40 items, each scored from 0 to 4: 0 - Not at all 1. \- A little 2. \- Moderately 3. \- Quite a bit 4. \- Very much By adding up the answers, the score range obtained is: 0 to 160. The higher the score, the less tired the patient is.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Kinesiophobia is measured with the TAMPA Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-CF). This scale assesses the kinesiophobia index presented by the patient at the time of the assessment. The higher the score, the greater the level of kinesiophobia. Total score range: 17 to 68. Higher scores indicate greater fear of movement. A score ≥ 40 is considered significant kinesiophobia.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 0

The level of physical activity (PA) is assessed using the GPAQ questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 16 items. Physical activity is expressed in MET-minutes per week (Metabolic Equivalent of Task), calculated from reported activity. Based on the score, three profiles are defined: High * ≥3 days vigorous activity (≥1500 MET-min/week) OR * ≥7 days walking/moderate/vigorous PA (≥3000 MET-min/week) Moderate * ≥20 min vigorous PA / day, ≥3 days/week OR * ≥30 min moderate PA/walking / day, ≥5 days/week OR * ≥5 days mixed activity (≥600 MET-min/week) Low * Does not meet above criteria
