Summary

Constitutional Thinness (CT) is a form of stable thinness without malnutrition but with resistance to weight gain, affecting approximately 1% of the general population. The clinical consequences are numerous and the pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Currently, conventional management involves a high-calorie and frequent diet, combined with the avoidance of endurance physical activity, although there is no significant evidence of its effectiveness. Our hypothesis is that an adapted physical activity program (APA) combined with compensatory nutrition (CN) could help these patients gain lean mass (muscle mass).

Conditions

• Constitutional Thinness

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Adapted Physical Activity (APA)	The APA intervention will consist of a 2-week running-in period, followed by a period of adapted physical activity (APA) for 8 weeks.
BEHAVIORAL	Compensatory Nutrition (NC)	The Compensatory Nutrition (NC) intervention will consist of a 2-week running-in period, followed by a period of compensated nutrition (NC) for 8 weeks.
