Presentation
The Master's degree in Rehabilitation through Adapted Physical Activities (RAPA) is designed to train future
managers in Adapted Physical Activity (APA) engineering in specialized professional sectors,
medical, medico-social, or socio-educational fields, and in personal service structures and
health networks that work with people with disabilities,
chronic illness in people with disabilities or at risk in terms of health, and
the elderly.
Rehabilitation through APA is a comprehensive approach, part of a multidisciplinary context, aimed at preventing, improving, or maintaining the health, quality of life, and social participation of each individual, while also limiting direct and indirect healthcare costs.
Upon completion of their training, each graduate is able to intervene at all levels
of the design, supervision, implementation, evaluation, and monitoring of APA projects and programs
for audiences with specific needs, from the youngest to the oldest.
Objectives
Based on theoretical and practical content covering various fields of knowledge
relating to the interface between disability and physical and/or sporting activity, project management and engineering
in APA, the training aims to equip participants with the following skills:
• planning, structuring, and development
• management and evaluation of APA-S projects and programs,
• supervision, coordination, and leadership of staff,
• collaboration within multidisciplinary teams,
• structuring of networks of relationships (supervisors, partners, etc.),
• promotion of the structure through communication on the topic of APA
• contribution to the implementation of research protocols and internal and external evaluations
• scientific and technical monitoring.

Continuing education
After completing a master's degree, it is possible to continue your studies with a doctorate. However, admission to doctoral studies is subject to the results obtained in the master's program, the approval of a research supervisor, a laboratory, a doctoral school, and genera
, provided that funding for the thesis is obtained. In the context of a Master's degree with a strong professional orientation, CIFRE agreements (theses in companies, see the ANRT website) are particularly relevant.
