Feasibility and acceptability of a new adapted physical activity program for children with chronic disease: a pilot study
These preliminary findings suggest that APA interventions are highly implementable in children with chronic diseases. We report a significant benefit on the quality of life and physical performance. Larger APA programs implementation is needed to confirm, with a high level of evidence, the importance of integration of APA programmes into routine paediatric care.
