Adapted Boxing and Photography in Haematology: Body Image and Self-Esteem

Although the benefits of adapted physical activity (APA) are well documented in the scientific literature, few studies have specifically examined the impact of adapted boxing on body image and self-esteem in patients with haematological conditions. The current approach relies on the empirical observations of healthcare professionals, but no systematic evaluation has been conducted to quantify the actual effects of this practice on patients. This project therefore aims to address this lack of data by rigorously and scientifically assessing the impact of a boxing session on patients' psychological and emotional well-being. The use of validated questionnaires (Rosenberg Scale, QIC, EORTC QLQ-C30) will provide objective and comparable measures12.
