Abstract:
The participation of psychiatric patients in activities that promote health through physical exercise is not well documented. By studying the life course of people suffering from addiction, we can examine how they incorporate an active lifestyle throughout their lives. This reveals interruptions and resumptions of physical activity linked to the progression of the disease. Recognising the consequences of addiction through movement appears to be a key factor in initiating change and is supported by the safe framework of the Sport Santé programme.
