Workshop: Discover the benefits of adapted physical activity

Delivered by a specially-trained professional, adapted physical activity (APA) offers sporting activities and strengthening exercises adapted to the physical capacities, expectations, needs and psychological state of each patient. 

APA aims to :

• develop the patient's physical condition (muscular strength, cardio-respiratory endurance and flexibility)
• improve balance, posture and coordination 
• stimulate cognitive abilities, reactivity and visuo-spatial information processing (perceiving and processing information)
• rediscover the pleasure of movement, well-being and a taste for effort
• improve emotional potential (motivation, self-confidence)

APA can be used as part of a rehabilitation program, but physical activity is an important element at all stages of the disease.
