About this trial

The ageing of the population is accompanied by an increase in the frequency of chronic illnesses, leading to a rise in the number of caregivers. These caregivers do not have the time to look after their own health, and they are very often in a deteriorated mental state with no knowledge of their level of fitness. A deterioration in their fitness can be a source of the development of diseases induced by a sedentary lifestyle. On the other hand, patients with chronic respiratory disease can benefit from respiratory rehabilitation (RR), which includes outpatient or home-based physical activity. The literature has demonstrated an improvement in the mental state of caregivers following a RR carried out by their loved ones without taking an interest in their fitness. The aim of the study will be to establish 1. a representation of the level of fitness and mental state of caregivers; 2. to assess the presence/absence of benefits on fitness and mental state of caregivers depending on the form of RR: home versus outpatient where the caregiver is not integrated in this last form.
