Abstract
The law of modernization of our health system of January 26, 2016 allows any attending physician to prescribe a program of physical activity suitable for patients with a chronic disease in long-term condition. The health benefits of active living habits are now well known and widely disseminated, but too few physicians have seized this prescription of Adapted Physical Activity (APA). New players such as APA teachers have come to complement the health professions to support patients in their APA program, and the world of sport, by creating the concept of Sport Santé, has organized itself to welcome patients who have adequate physical condition. Regional systems are starting to be deployed to receive patients and the private sector is already offering session or subscription solutions today. To facilitate the medical prescription of APA, the Haute Autorité de Santé has developed a guide for the promotion, consultation and medical prescription of physical and sports activities for health in adults, in July 2019 and the Médicosport Santé provides relevant guidance for patients according to disciplines and diseases. The medical prescription for APA must therefore become a practical reality for patients with ALD, guaranteeing a lasting change in lifestyle through more active behavior.
