Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This study compares the level of physical activity reported by the SAPHIR questionnaire with the activity recorded by the activity monitor during the same period, in order to determine if the SAPHIR score is able to represent the measured physical activity, in a simple and easily calculable manner.
Hypothesis:
The aim of this work is to propose a new questionnaire that is simple to complete by the patient,quick to analyse and directly calculable by the doctor and adapted to the general population, whether during the initial evaluation or the follow-up.
Indeed, these scores are rarely used outside the context of the prescription of physical activity in specialized centers. Moreover, a tool suited to the constraints of community medicine seems necessary, given the growth of the prescription of physical activity in primary care.
The idea behind this new questionnaire is to obtain a score ranging from 0 to 100 that can be calculated through simple mental arithmetic, which is not the case for most existing questionnaires, in particular the IPAQ.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Currently, the French National Authority for Health (la Haute Autorité de Santé), through its guide for the promotion, consultation and medical prescription of physical and sports activity for health in adults, updated in July 2022, proposes an estimate of the "usual level of PA (…) using the two-question Marshall questionnaire (30 seconds)" or alternatively, "it can be calculated more precisely with the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), a 16-question self-administered questionnaire that patients can complete online at www.mangerbouger.fr."
The GPAQ is one of the most widely used questionnaires. While its strength lies in its precision, it is long to complete and score. Therefore, despite being validated by many studies, it is not practical for routine use. In practice, the "Ricci and Gagnon" questionnaire is used for the follow-up of patients, using tracking logs. (Sport santé sur ordonnance. Contexte et exemples de mise en oeuvre. Octobre 2017. ONAPS) . This categorizes individuals as inactive, active or very active, and has never been scientifically validated in a study, to the best of our knowledge.
Finally, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) is a test validated both in long and short forms. It allows a precise calculation of the amount of physical activity expressed in MET (metabolic equivalent)/min/week but does not provide information on its distribution throughout the week. Like the GPAQ, with 27 different questions it is also lengthy to complete, making it impractical for routine use. The short version tends to underestimate physical activity levels, and the final score cannot be easily calculated in real time. Nevertheless, this version will be used as a reference.
The aim of this work is to propose a new questionnaire that is simple for patients to complete, quick to analyse, can be calculated directly by the doctor, and is adapted to the general population, whether for an initial assessment or a follow-up.
Moreover, the prescription of physical activity is usually carried out over short, renewable periods, whereas long-term changes are necessary to achieve significant improvements in morbidity and mortality.
The developed questionnaire ultimately aims to be useful for monitoring the evolution of physical activity.
