Follow-up of physical activity
From T0 to T6, physical activity level is followed using a Steel HR watch (Withings, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France), connected to the “Withings Health Mate” application on a mobile phone. The instructor downloads the “Withing Health Mate” mobile application and synchronizes it with the watch. He/she then gives information to the patient on how to use the watch and the mobile application. The application needs to be regularly used by the patients to transfer activity data via Bluetooth. All patients have to wear the watch from the time they get up until they go to bed. They have to schedule each session of physical activity practiced (e.g., walking, muscle strengthening, running, swimming, cycling), during which the distance, duration, intensity, maximum and average HR are collected. The watch also records the number of steps and calories burned, and the daily distance. All data are exported via the application.
