Brief summary

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in France (56,841 cases in 2012). Although the benefits of physical activity (PA) in cancer patients are currently well established in the scientific literature, several studies have shown that this population is not sufficiently active. Strengthen patient adherence to prevention counseling by the physical activity (PA) is emerging as a new challenge for personalized treatment in oncology. In order to encourage the engagement and maintenance in a regular PA of cancer patients, first, their experiences of physical activity (PA) practice should be considered and their initial social representations of the practice considered. Secondarily, it is also important to identify health professionals who retain a key role in defining the framework, objectives and means of action to promote lifestyle changes towards a more active lifestyle. In addition, peer mentoring appears to offer promising perspectives for promoting adherence and long-term maintenance in physical activity (PA) of cancer patients.

Detailed description

The main objective of this project is to measure the adherence of prostate cancer patients to a physical activity program with a tracking of the motivation by a pair.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTinterview

The goal is to evaluate the needs, the constraints and representations of patients on the practice of physical activity.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTAdult Physical Activity Questionnaire (APAQ)

The goal of this questionnaire is to evaluate the sedentary lifestyle of patients.

An activity actigraph will use by the patient for a week. It measures the level of physical activity and the sedentary lifestyle of patients.

The goal of the peer training will organize once a week for 3 weeks for a patient. After this training, they will have : * Skills in physical activity advice * Knowledge of functional signs (symptoms) * Knowledge to examine heart rate and perceived effort rate

OTHERPhysical Activity Program

During the Physical Activity Program, patients will be supervised by peers and a clubs and sports associations labeled sport-health by Olympic and Sports Committee of the Loire Department. The peer will coach the patient once a week minimum for 3 months.
