We know that melanoma and its treatments have an impact on the quality of life of patients: fatigue or impairment of muscular and cardiorespiratory capacities, for example. Indeed, after a cancer diagnosis, the majority of patients reduce their physical activity. It is estimated that 50 to 75% of these patients do not meet the WHO recommendations (physically inactive). Five years after the cancer diagnosis, nearly half of the patients report limitations in their daily physical activities (walking, carrying, standing for extended periods, etc.). This physical deconditioning can lead to an exercise intolerance state, resulting in decreased autonomy, quality of life, and self-esteem, along with increased physical and psychological symptoms, and fatigue. In this context, the High Authority of Health (HAH) has issued several reports integrating physical activity into the care pathway of cancer patients. Indeed, numerous studies have shown the benefits of exercise, particularly in patients with breast or prostate cancer, in order to improve body composition, cardiorespiratory capacity, muscle strength, cancer-related fatigue, pain, anxiety, and quality of life, as well as to prevent treatment-related side effects. Some even mention an impact on survival in prostate cancer. Currently, despite these reports and various publications illustrating the benefits of physical activity and its feasibility even in metastatic patients, there are many barriers to the prescription of adapted physical activity (APA) by healthcare professionals, who fear, for example, insufficient physical abilities for engaging in sports. Moreover, to date, few adapted physical activity programs exist in France for patients with advanced melanoma being followed in dermatology. However, this is a population that is sometimes still young and active, requiring the prevention of physical deconditioning and its consequences. Finally, patients with a history of advanced cancer are sometimes reluctant to resume an activity, Indeed, facing external club partners without health issues, in unfamiliar places, can be a barrier to resuming physical activity. Moreover, patients' motivation wanes over time despite the benefits gained. Currently, no study has evaluated the interest of a hospital-based adapted physical activity (APA) program consisting of weekly sessions and/or regular in-person and phone motivational interviews for the resumption of physical activity and the maintenance of this activity over time.
