Keep Children Active project

"Keep Children Active" project focuses on the use of active video games (AVG) in virtual reality (VR) as a tool for Adapted Physical Activity (APA) for children hospitalized with cancer. Indeed, APA is recognized as a highly effective non-drug therapeutic strategy to combat the symptoms related to the disease and its treatments. However, various constraints (physiological, psychological, and conceptual) lead to significantly lower levels of APA practice among children hospitalized with cancer compared to healthy children. This is why Virtual Reality emerges as an innovative and engaging solution to promote APA practice in this population.
