Study of Adapted Physical Activity and Biofeedback Relaxation in Adults with Blood Cancers in Intensive Care Unit

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate the effects of Adapted Physical Activity APA programs on reducing state anxiety and improving functional capacities in people with severe blood cancers admitted to the Intensive Care Unit ICU. Anxiety is a major concern for these patients, and the study compares traditional APA, APA combined with Exergaming, and APA with biofeedback relaxation to see if any approach offers additional benefits. The goal is to lessen anxiety and psychological fatigue while maintaining or improving physical function. Participants are assigned to one of three groups practicing aerobic activity three times a week, with each session lasting 30 to 60 minutes at a light to moderate intensity. The groups include a classical APA group using a cyclo-ergometer, an APA group with Exergaming devices, and an APA group that combines exercise with biofeedback relaxation. Each session includes warm-up, training, and cool-down phases, with the relaxation group using a biofeedback device during cool-down to promote relaxation. During the study, functional capacities are measured at the start and end of the program using submaximal tests like the 2-minute Walk Test and the 5 Times Sit to Stand Test. Anxiety and fatigue levels are assessed with questionnaires such as the State Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Multi-Fatigue Inventory. Participants also provide feedback on satisfaction and adherence by comparing planned versus completed sessions. The study tracks changes in anxiety, physical performance, and quality of life throughout the intervention and shortly after discharge.
