Stress Management in Obesity During a Thermal Spa Residential Program

"Both groups will benefit of a 21-day residential program at the thermal spa resort combining corrections of eating disorders (and a negative energy balance of 500 kcal/day), physical activity (2h30 per day, minimum), thermal spa treatment (2h per day, minimum), and health education (1h30 per day, minimum: cooking, nutrition and physical activity classes…). Physical activity will be diverse (endurance, strength, circuit training) and personalized to the target of each participant.~The intervention group will benefit from psychological interventions based on validated approaches of stress (3 x 1h30 per week). Participants will attend psychological sessions by group of less than 10 individuals. Individual meeting with the psychologist will occur at least twice: at the beginning of the residential program and at the end.~After the spa residential program, participants will undergo a one-year at-home follow-up."
