Brief Summary

The benefits of physical activity are well-established. However, adherence to and sustained participation remain limited. These difficulties are partly explained by a lack of consideration for individual differences and the psychosocial factors influencing motivation and participation. Models from the psychology of motivation, such as the transtheoretical model of change, emphasize the importance of support tailored to each individual's level of commitment and personal needs. From this perspective, social design, based on co-creation and the active participation of users, could be a promising approach for individualizing interventions with defined, sustainable, and replicable methodologies. By involving seniors in the design and adjustment of programs, this approach promotes autonomy, a sense of competence, and long-term continuity of practice. Thus, the objective of this study is to determine the effects of co-created physical activity programs with participants on program adherence and long-term physical activity adoption. The hypothesis is that co-created physical activity would lead to better adherence and long-term commitment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Maintenance of physical activity

  Maintenance of physical activity corresponds to the physical activity levels at 6 months and 1 year post-program. It will be measured by the Dijon questionnaire which is a self-administered questionnaire, comprising 9 items assessing the frequency, duration and intensity of physical activities carried out in daily life and leisure.

  6 months and 1 year after the end of the intervention (T2, T3)

• Adherence of physical activity program

  Adherence corresponds to attendance rates at physical activity sessions during the program.

  Through intervention completion, for 12 weeks.

Secondary Outcomes (10)

• Stages of behavior change according to the transtheoretical model of behavior change

  Before the intervention (T0), at the end of the intervention (T1), 6 month after the end of the intervention (T2) and 1 year after the end of the intervention (T3)

• Change process according to the transtheoretical model of behavior change

  Before the intervention (T0), at the end of the intervention (T1), 6 month after the end of the intervention (T2) and 1 year after the end of the intervention (T3)

• Decisionnal balance according to the transtheoretical model of behavior change

  Before the intervention (T0), at the end of the intervention (T1), 6 month after the end of the intervention (T2) and 1 year after the end of the intervention (T3)

• Self-efficacy according to the transtheoretical model of behavior change

  Before the intervention (T0), at the end of the intervention (T1), 6 month after the end of the intervention (T2) and 1 year after the end of the intervention (T3)

• Body composition

  Before the intervention (T0) and at the end of the intervention (T1)

Interventions

Classical tailored physical activity program OTHER

The 'Classical tailored physical activity program'(control) group follows a classic adapted physical activity program not co-created, of the same duration of 12 weeks with 2 sessions per week.

Classical tailored physical activity program

Co-designed tailored physical activity program OTHER

The 'Co-designed tailored physical activity program' group follows a co-created adapted physical activity program, consisting of two sessions per week for 12 weeks, including adapted physical and sporting activities (APSA) chosen by the participants themselves (3 out of 5 offered). Within the experimental group, participants are grouped according to their level of physical ability. In addition, a group discussion with the Adapted Physical Activity Instructor is scheduled every four weeks.
