About this trial

A multicentric, non-interventional study using a clinical questionnaire (SAPHIR) and activity monitor (Activ-PAL) to estimate the level of physical activity in the general population.

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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients referred for a consultation at one of the participating centers

Patients over 18 years old with no upper age limit

Patients with a contra-indication to walking

Professional athletes or patients participating in endurance sports competitions

Disqualifiers

None

Trial population

The study population consists of patients referred for consultation in the department of sports medicine (generally active patients, although patients may also be sedentary and/or inactive) or in the department of vascular medicine (patients with lower limb peripheral artery disease, mostly inactive)

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

correlation between SAPHIR score completed at inclusion and the level of physical activity estimated from measurement data collected using the Activ-PAL® activity monitor

A score is based on the time spent at each intensity level of physical activity, using the correlation between cadence and METs extrapolated from the literature (Tudor-Locke et al, 2020). The primary outcome measure is the correlation coefficient between the amount of physical activity estimated by the SAPHIR score and that estimated from the Activ-PAL data.

Time frame
7 days

Secondary outcomes

1

correlation between the final SAPHIR score (completed at the end of the measurement week) and the amount of physical activity calculated from the Activ-PAL® activity monitor data

The first secondary outcome measure is the correlation coefficient between the SAPHIR score and the amount of activity estimated from Activ-PAL® data.

Time frame
7 days
2

correlation between the initial SAPHIR score and the IPAQ score (baseline)

The second secondary outcome measure is the correlation coefficient between the initial SAPHIR score and the initial IPAQ score

Time frame
inclusion
3

correlation between the final SAPHIR score and the final IPAQ score

The third secondary outcome measure is the correlation coefficient between the final SAPHIR score and the final IPAQ score

Time frame
7 days
4

correlation between the initial IPAQ score (at the beginning of the week) and the amount of physical activity calculated using Activ-PAL® data i

The fourth secondary outcome measure is the correlation coefficient between the initial IPAQ score and the amount of physical activity estimated from Activ-PAL® data, using the method described for the primary outcome
