Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* How does incorporating physical literacy elements in adapted physical activity sessions affect participants overall physical literacy levels?
* Can a physical literacy-oriented adapted physical activity program enhance long-term engagement in physical activities and improve health outcomes for chronic disease patients?
Participants will:
* Undergo assessments for physical literacy levels and health outcomes at the beginning, after three months, and at the end of the six-month period.
* Engage, in intervention groups, in adapted physical activity sessions, which may include physical fitness exercises and educational components on physical literacy.
Researchers will compare 3 groups: a control group, a traditional Adapted Physical Activity (APA) group, and a Physical Literacy Oriented APA (APA+PL) group to see if integrating physical literacy components results in improved physical literacy levels, better sustained engagement in physical activities, and enhanced health outcomes.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The intervention lasts six months, with initial and follow-up assessments at three and six months. These evaluations measure physical literacy dimensions-motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and engagement-using a combination of questionnaires and physical tests. The assessment tool, inspired by Whitehead's definitions and the IPLA framework, encompasses six core dimensions of physical literacy. It integrates closed-ended questions for quantitative analysis and open-ended questions for qualitative insights, offering a comprehensive view of participants physical literacy journey.
The APA+PL intervention is meticulously planned, following the Physical Literacy Interventions Reporting Template (PLIRT), focusing on enhancing physical literacy through tailored physical activity sessions. These sessions, led by qualified APA educators, are structured to integrate physical literacy elements seamlessly into the exercise routines. The program includes varied physical activities aiming to improve physical fitness (endurance, strength, flexibility, balance) and instill a deeper understanding and appreciation of physical literacy in participants.
The study data analysis plan involves a mixed-methods approach, capturing both the quantitative changes in physical literacy scores and the qualitative experiences of participants. Quantitative data will be analyzed using mixed ANOVA models to evaluate within-subject changes and between-group differences in physical literacy scores. Qualitative data, derived from open-ended questionnaire responses, will undergo thematic analysis to identify recurring themes and insights into the participants experiences and perceptions of the intervention.
Researchers will perform subgroup analyses based on age, gender, and chronic disease type, with adjusted analyses for potential confounders. The study seeks to understand the broader implications of physical literacy interventions in chronic disease management, aiming to inform future public health strategies and promote sustained engagement in physical activities among chronic disease patients.
This comprehensive approach to evaluating physical literacy interventions will contribute significantly to the understanding of how these interventions can be optimized to support chronic disease management in adult populations, potentially guiding future healthcare practices and policies.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
Participants in this arm receive no specific intervention. They are on a waiting list for the 'Citoyen en mouvement pour ma santé' program, allowing for natural observation of their health progression without targeted physical literacy interventions. This group serves as a baseline to compare the effects of the adapted physical activity (APA) programs with and without physical literacy components.
No interventions assigned to this group
Traditional APA Group
This group engages in a standard adapted physical activity program, focusing on improving physical fitness and mobility. The intervention is designed for chronic disease management, emphasizing regular physical exercises without an explicit incorporation of physical literacy principles. The same APA educator supervises all sessions to maintain consistency in the delivery of physical activity interventions.
Traditional APA
12 sessions of 1,5 hour are organized (once per week). The first session is primarily focused on the PL assessment, followed by a comprehensive introduction to physical conditioning exercises. Each of the subsequent sessions (n=10), participants will receive an intervention focused on the development of their physical fitness (endurance, strength, flexibility, balance). Each session will commence with a 15 minute warm-up comprising of a blend of cardiovascular and joint mobilization exercises. The core part of each session will be dedicated to session-specific exercises targeting key physical competencies such as endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance, along with other motor skills. . The size of the group will never exceed a number of 15 participants. At the conclusion of each session, participants will be guided through a return-to-calm sequence that included stretching and relaxation exercises.
APA+PL Group
Participants in this arm participate in an adapted physical activity program enriched with physical literacy elements. The intervention aims to enhance physical activity engagement through increased motivation, confidence, knowledge, and understanding. This arm explores the added benefits of integrating physical literacy into traditional APA programs for chronic disease patients.
APA+PL
The general content and duration of this intervention is the same as in the traditional APA intervention, but with an extra particular and explicit emphasis on PL dimensions (6) during the sessions. While the dimension of physical competence is consistently incorporated into the sessions, the remaining 5 dimensions of PL are addressed twicely over the course of the semester with the setting of specific goals and intervention content. This could involve quizzes or games integrated into circuits or exercise workshops, role-play exercises simulating real-life situations, or social interactions between participants with a particular focus on PL-related topics. In addition to the sessions, a follow-up telephone call is scheduled between the educator and each participant during the 2 weeks following the initial PL assessment to share individual PL assessment results and assist participants in setting person-centered goals using a motivational interviewing technique.
