In an era where physical and mental well-being is at the heart of daily concerns, a roundtable was recently organized, bringing together various health professionals. Nutritionists, general practitioners, psychologists, and sports coaches shared their expertise, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to health. This exchange allowed for the distillation of practical and accessible advice for maintaining optimal fitness. These recommendations addressed balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, stress management, and the importance of sleep. Adaptive strategies in response to the contemporary challenges of modern life were also discussed.
Daily Strategies for Optimal Health According to Professionals
In light of the increase in long-term conditions (LTC) such as diabetes or cancer, health professionals emphasize prevention. Among the major focuses, adapted physical activity (APA) has proven to be a recognized therapy, both by the High Authority of Health (HAS) and organizations like the League Against Cancer. In recent years, a consensus has emerged on the crucial role of APA in reducing sedentariness and improving quality of life.

Doctors can prescribe APA, which is provided by trained professionals such as adapted physical education teachers or sports educators. This practice is now being implemented in a structured framework, supported by initiatives like Pharmidea, to offer patients personalized support. The WHO defines physical activity as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Regular practice of this activity is a pillar for maintaining health for everyone.
The role of health professionals is thus to guide and advise on the practice of physical activity for optimal health. They raise patients’ awareness of the multiple benefits of APA: diabetes prevention, reduction of recurrence risks for certain cancers, and combating sedentariness. This support is part of a proactive approach, where the patient becomes an actor in their own health, guided by advice to stay fit, tailored to their condition and specific needs.

Understanding and Choosing Physical Activities Adapted to Each Profile
The personalization of physical activity prescriptions is becoming an obvious necessity in the care pathway. Since the adoption of the law modernizing our health system in 2016, doctors can prescribe adapted physical activities not only for their patients’ pathologies but also for their lifestyle and personal preferences.
Health insurance does not reimburse these prescriptions, which encourages supplementary health insurance to play an increasing role in covering these activities. Organizations such as the French Mutuality Grand Est organize events like the webinar ‘PHYSICAL ACTIVITY in Daily Life’ to raise awareness of the importance of regular physical activity and its integration into daily life.
The Sport-Health Houses (MSS) are emerging as pillars in supporting individuals wishing to engage in physical activity for health. These multidisciplinary structures offer tailored support and advice, allowing individuals to choose the most appropriate activities and follow personalized programs.
The Club of Sports Cardiologists issues recommendations for sports practice, adapted to each physical and pathological condition. The promotion of health through sports is also a cause championed by associations such as the Nationale Sportive Léo Lagrange Union (UNSLL), which mobilizes to make physical activity accessible to all. These various initiatives reflect the collective awareness of the impact of physical exercise on health and the necessity to make it accessible and adapted to each individual.
