Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This feasibility study aims to assess interest, recruitment, and adherence to a supervised physical activity (APA) program among individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). It also investigates the program's impact on sleep quality and efficiency. Key objectives include evaluating recruitment feasibility, assessing randomization acceptance, quantifying adherence rates, and identifying sensitive sleep assessment tools. The study will explore whether APA improves sleep outcomes in AUD patients with sleep complaints, laying groundwork for larger-scale research.

Participants will engage in APA sessions, complete sleep assessments (including sleep diaries and psychometric scales), and provide sociodemographic data and past activity adherence.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Managed adapted physical activity

Participants will receive 3 weekly sessions of supervised adapted physical activity (APA) starting from Visit 3.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

APA managed by qualified instructor

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Each session will be led by a qualified APA professional and will include a mix of aerobic, anaerobic, and 'mind-body' activities like yoga, tailored to participant preferences. Intensity will range from moderate to vigorous, with activities such as walking, cycling, and club-based exercises for at least 20 minutes per session. Participants will be progressively involved in session planning to support continued practice post-study. Heart rate monitoring will be used during exercises like the 6-minute walk test and chair rise test, while a daily activity calendar will help ensure adherence, documenting session dates, durations, subjective intensity, and activity type.

Autonomous adapted physical activity

Participants in this arm will receive a leaflet summarizing WHO recommendations on physical activity at the start of the study.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Autonomous APA

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A leaflet highlighting the importance of non-sedentary behavior according to WHO recommendations will be provided to them. They will have the opportunity to engage in physical activity autonomously according to their preference.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Subjects aged 18 to 65 years inclusive
* Present an Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) with at least 2 positive items as defined by the DSM-5

* Present active alcohol consumption with at least 6 days of excessive alcohol consumption in the last 4 weeks
* Speak and understand French
* Live within 30 minutes of the University Hospital of Besançon
* Treatment allowed if stabilized for at least 4 weeks
* Signature of informed consent indicating that the subject has understood the purpose and procedures required by the study and agrees to participate and comply with the requirements and restrictions inherent to the study
* Signed automobile safety contract:

1. The participant agrees to hand over the keys to their vehicle if necessary.
2. The keys will be returned when the blood alcohol level is below 0.25 mg/L
3. The participant agrees to name one or more people to contact in case the medical staff deems the participant unfit to return home alone.
* Affiliation to a French social security system or beneficiary of such a system
* Postmenopausal women for at least 24 months, surgically sterilized, or, for women of childbearing age, using an effective method of contraception (oral contraceptives, contraceptive injections, intrauterine devices, double-barrier method, contraceptive patches) (self-reported)

Exclusion Criteria

* Severe chronic respiratory conditions
* Complicated diabetes with severe retinopathy
* Sickle cell disease
* Mild intoxication (psychoactive substances)
* Mild withdrawal syndrome (Cushman \>2)
* Musculoskeletal and dermatological limitations: Unhealed traumatic injuries.

* Musculoskeletal and dermatological limitations: Pressure ulcers and evolving or chronic wounds.
* On the day of signing consent: Blood alcohol concentration \> 0 mg/L of expired air.
* On the day of signing consent: If blood alcohol concentration is \< 0.25 mg/L, the participant may join other therapeutic activities and return home autonomously.
* On the day of signing consent: If blood alcohol concentration is \> 0.25 mg/L without clinical signs of intoxication, the participant may join other therapeutic activities and return home accompanied.
* On the day of signing consent: If blood alcohol concentration is \> 0.25 mg/L with clinical signs of intoxication, the participant will not join other therapeutic activities. A supervised room placement will be offered, and emergency services may be contacted if intoxication is unusually high (\>2 g/L).
