Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Physical activity (PA) has been an integral part of non-drug therapy since the early 2010s. This supportive care is likely to reduce fatigue and improve the quality of life of patients during and after the cancer treatment phase. Physical activity also has a protective effect in terms of tertiary prevention by reducing the risk of recurrence of certain cancers (breast, colon, prostate) by around 40 to 50% and by reducing overall mortality. Adapted physical activity (APA) is offered at the Institut de Cancérologie de l'Ouest (ICO) in Angers, but there are obstacles particularly linked to the geographical distance of the establishment where this activity is offered. The RAPASS project is a prospective study which will be proposed to patients followed at the ICO, living in rural areas and far from Angers. Its main objective is to describe the fatigue and quality of life of patients before, during and after a 13-session home-based APA programme. The data collected will also be used to describe changes in physical condition and level, compliance with the programme, continuation of physical activity beyond the duration of the programme, and satisfaction.

[]Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue Scale (FACIT-F)
- timeFrame
- Through study completion, an average 6 months.
- description
- To describe the fatigue (physical, functional, social, emotional components) of patients. The Score from FACIT-F range from 0 to 52. The higher the score, the lower is the fatigue.
Secondary outcomes (7)
- measure
- Short Physical Performance Battery test (SPPB)
- timeFrame
- Through studied intervention, an average 3 months.
- description
- It is used to assess the physical performance of an individual. It is the result of the scores of three criteria: the balance test, the walking speed test and the chair lift test. The sum of the scores of all the tests gives an overall performance score: * SPPB 0-6: Poor performance * SPPB 7-9: Intermediate performance * SPPB 10-12: High performance
- measure
- 6 minute walk test
