Summary

The Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) affects joints mobility and leads pain, impacting the practice of physical activities. Adapted Physical Activities are rehabilitation methods increasingly used, but additional studies are needed to define the nature of the physical activity for patients with JIA. The ATHLETIQUE project aims to evaluate the impact of a program integrating APA sessions together with the wearing of a pedometer watch on disease activity of patients with JIA.

Conditions

• Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Adaptated Physical Activity (APA) + pedometer watch	Adapted physical activities program : 12 weeks, 2 40-minutes sessions per week ( one broadcast live via online video conferencing and other one in autonomy according to a sequence of different personalized exercises defined by the APA's professional). Children are divided into 6 groups. Each session will be broken down into three parts: the warm-up (10mins), the session's corps alternating between five to eight of muscle strengthening, proprioception, and endurance exercises (20mins) and a cool-down with stretching (10mins). The physical activity performed during the sessions will be quantified with a heart rate monitor and the range of 60-70% of the maximum theoretical heart rate for each child will be respected. A pedometer watch will wear during 1 year and will provide the number of steps.
