On medical prescription, people with fragile health will have the opportunity to practice adapted sporting activities in the Loiret. At stake: improving their physical condition. According to our colleagues from France Bleu, this experiment is about to be carried out with 300 people.
This situation is unprecedented in the Loiret. It is Ufolep Loiret which will pilot this system for people with precarious health. Identified by a treating physician, patients identified as being at risk or weakened by chronic illnesses will thus benefit from a medical prescription to have access to this specific care at the new Sport Santé house of the Ufolep Loiret association.
Prescriptions for practicing sports activities
The launch of this experiment was born from a dramatic observation. The ARS (Regional Health Agency) is sounding the alarm: our sedentary behavior is directly involved. The risk? The development of cardiovascular diseases, the development of obesity or even diabetes.
Prevention through sport is an effective strategy to combat these health problems. This experiment in favor of sport will continue until July 2025 supported by a budget of 100,000 euros.
