APA has demonstrated benefits for strength, endurance, fatigue, quality of life, and aerobic capacity. The APAER-H group’s preliminary work suggested a three-week APA programme may reduce anxiety and fatigue while preserving or improving physical capacity. Evidence for APA in HICU is mostly based on longer programmes, while short inpatient programmes remain less studied. APA is considered safe and non-interfering with HICU treatments across several exercise formats. Adapted physical activity is endorsed as supportive care during and after HICU treatment by major French and international health authorities.
