Tóm tắt

The self‐controlled follow‐up pilot study was set up to examine the maintenance of engagement in physical activity by a group of older adults in a thermal spa resort, as a consequence of the inclusion of additional physical education sessions within their usual care offers. A cohort of 42 participants (70.4 ± 4.5 years) underwent three weeks of thermal treatment with additional physical education (PE) sessions. Measurements were established during the intervention in 2 periods (baseline and final thermal treatment evaluation) and 4 periods of measurements in the follow‐up (+15 days, +2 months, +6 months, and +1 year). Physical measures (anthropometrics, flexibility, and 6‐minute walk test) and intrapersonal and psychosocial factors as well as health‐related quality of life (HQOL) and physical activity (PA) were self‐reported by participants. Only HQOL and PA were assessed during the follow‐up. One year after a 3‐week PE session combined with the usual thermal care, 64% of the participants exhibited a higher volume of PA than at baseline. The components of the HQOL changed during the follow‐up. This strategy to maintain PA engagement appears to be feasible in a population of thermal care older adults. This work demonstrates the feasibility of a study conducted to maintain physical activity engagement after a thermal treatment.
