Effects of a Personalized Physical Training to Reduce Fatigue in Chronic Fatigue Patients: a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Chronic fatigue (CF) is a pathological fatigue over at least 6 months, without improvement after rest or sleep. In primary care, it is the major complaint in 5 to 10% of the consultations. Physical activity is an efficient therapy to help reducing this fatigue in addition to the improvement of muscular and cardiorespiratory functions. However, it remains little exploited. Yet the studies focus mainly on precise chronic pathologies with general trainings, without considering the fatigue status and reveal a large heterogeneity. Personalizing the physical training appears to be the next step in order to improve chronic fatigue patients care. The objective of this study will be to investigate the relevance and the effects of a personalized physical training to reduce fatigue in chronic fatigue patients.

Participants
Target number of participants: 130
Treatments
Experimental: Personalized training group with the fatigue status (PERSO)
The PERSO group will perform similar exercises as the RECO group but the training load will be adapted by changing the intensity (with the same volume as RECO) depending on the fatigue scores of the week. The aerobic fatigue score will set the load for the aerobic exercises and the muscle fatigue score for the resistance exercises.
Active_comparator: Traditional training group following the recommendations (RECO)
The RECO group will perform aerobic and resistance exercises to reach the recommendations for patients with chronic pathologies, with a moderate intensity and an increasing volume.
