Rehabilitation in Adapted Physical Activities (RAPA)
The Master's degree in Rehabilitation through Adapted Physical Activities (RAPA) is designed to qualify future
managers in Adapted Physical Activity (APA) engineering in specialized professional sectors,
medical, medico-social or socio-educational, and in human services structures and
health networks working in the care of people with impairments,
chronic illnesses, people with disabilities or at risk with regard to health and
ageing people.
Rehabilitation through APA is a holistic approach, taking place in a multi-disci-
plinary context and aiming to prevent, improve or maintain the state of health, quality of life and
social participation of each individual, as well as limiting direct and
indirect healthcare costs. At the end of their training, graduates are able to intervene at all levels
of the design, supervision, implementation, evaluation and follow-up of APA projects and pro-
grams for people with specific needs, from the youngest to the oldest.
GEstion de la Santé par l'Activité Physique pour les Personnes Agées (Master 2 only)
Physical activity has become a central component of successful, healthy aging. But not all activities are equal in terms of improving health and quality of life. Programming them requires solid scientific and methodological skills.
Following on from the " Adapted Physical Activity & Health " (APAS) Bachelor's degree, the " Health Management through Physical Activity for the Elderly " (GESAPPA) Master 2 in the "Physical Activity for Health" (APPS) specialization of the Grand Sud Master's program is now open. Its aim is to train physical activity managers specialized in supporting independent or dependent populations as they age.
Prevention, Health Education, Physical Activity (PESAP)
The "Prevention, Health Education, Physical Activity" (PESAP) vocational training program is designed to qualify future managers in the field of health promotion, defined as the process of empowering people to take greater control of, and improve, their own health. More specifically, they are trained to use physical activities as a lever to ensure this promotion, taking into account the sense of involvement of individuals in their practices.
Ultimately, the training program aims to provide the skills needed to create conditions conducive to healthy living in all areas of life, particularly in terms of lifestyles and the role of physical activity.
Sciences Technologies Mouvement (Master 2 only)
This specialization is designed to train research professionals in the field of human movement. Students graduating from the Research Master's program are expected to continue their studies in the Doctorate program, culminating in the defense of a University Thesis.
Research masters and doctoral studies are reserved for the most motivated students, and only a limited number of places are available. However, the professional integration of graduates is excellent.
After completing their thesis and usually a post-doctoral internship, students find jobs in higher education, research organizations, research laboratories or the "research and development" structures of private sector companies.
The Research Master's program offers three career paths:
- Motor Control: Specializing in the processes linking perception and action in the control and learning of perceptual-motor coordinations and the kinematic and dynamic modeling of the human body in motion.
- Movement Physiology: Specializing in the physiological mechanisms involved in the production of human movement, their regulation, the influence of environmental factors and the speci city of immediate and long-term responses in different populations.
- Exercise Psychology: Specializing in the study of the psycho- logical and psycho-social processes involved in the practice of physical activities for health, well-being or performance.
