Adapted Physical Activity, Health-related Quality of Life and Satisfaction With Care in Hospitalized Children

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of adapted physical activity intervention on health-related quality of life and satisfaction with care in hospitalized children and adolescents. This is a randomized controlled study. The hypothesis is that children practicing adapted physical activity during their hospitalization present a higher health-related quality of life and satisfaction with care than those who do not.
