Overview

The “Prevention, Health Education, and Physical Activity” (PESAP) professional training program is designed to prepare future leaders in the field of health promotion, defined as the process of empowering populations to take greater control of their own health and improve it. More specifically, these professionals are trained to use physical activity as a tool to advance health promotion, taking into account individuals’ level of commitment to their physical activity practices.
