| Résumé : | Introduction: Maintaining a physically active life is crucial for people with chronic diseases. It provides many health benefits and can slow or even prevent disease progression. The aims of this evaluation were to determine whether changes existed in aerobic capacity (AC), quality of life (QoL), and physical activity (PA) levels after a PA intervention, and if these were sustained long-term. It also sought to determine which diagnosis groups incurred the greatest benefits. Methods: A 6-week PA intervention was conducted. Patients completed tests for AC (VO2 and six-minute walk), QoL (SF-36 questionnaire), and PA levels (R&G questionnaire) at baseline, immediately post-intervention, 6-months post-intervention, and 12-months post-intervention. Results: Currently, 383 patients are enrolled and comprise 6 different diagnosis categories (Cancer, HIV/AIDS, cardio-metabolic, respiratory, neuromuscular, and mental disorders). Those with respiratory disease commenced the intervention with the lowest AC, whilst those with mental disorders had the lowest baseline QoL. The PA levels at the beginning of the intervention were remarkably low (67% inactive) and did not differ by diagnosis group. For the 275 patients who have completed the intervention, a significant (p |
