Presentation
The rise of digital technology and artificial intelligence is creating industrial and educational needs for training senior research and development executives to design digital solutions for sports and health. The rapid evolution of the sector requires a quick response in terms of training.
- The creation of the Master's degree in Sports Science: Engineering and Ergonomics of Physical Activity (IEAP) ( RNCP38699) in Montpellier responds to this need for a human-centered digital transition in the world of sports and health. Compared to the skills certified by the existing STAPS programs in Montpellier, the nature of IEAP skills is best suited to the educational project and research focus.
- The integration of these skills into the metropolitan and regional industrial and economic fabric is much more visible with an IEAP master's degree.

Program
The program is organized with the following objectives:
Promote interdisciplinarity in sports, health, and digital technology: certified skills in all three areas (core training) with a major in one area (internships and projects)
Training through action from Master's 1: a majority of ECTS credits in internships and tutored projects (mentoring approach) in Master's 1 and Master's 2
Strengthening the link between Master's and Doctorate: From Master's 1, students develop a personalized project that can lead to a doctorate in an industrial or academic setting.
Open up to international opportunities: In line with Erasmus+, encourage internships abroad and courses taught mainly in English (100% English for DigiMove).
The common core curriculum (80% of courses) is shared by all Master's 1 and Master's 2 programs. Instruction is conducted in English.
The programs differ in terms of the types of internships and the nature of the projects:
- 2SIA: personal engineering project + internship at DigiMove: personal research project + internship at a laboratory
- DigiMove: personal research project + laboratory internship

IDIL DigiMove - Digital and Movement Sciences for Health
The IDIL Digital and Movement Sciences for Health (DigiMove) master's program offers a comprehensive curriculum that promotes skills in the fusion of experimental research, human movement sciences, and data sciences through a combination of courses and internships.
This program is structured around three main areas: Experimental research, including research ethics, measurement chains, statistical analysis, mathematical tools, human movement sciences, including biomechanics, sensory-motor control and learning, exercise physiology, the psychology of physical activity, and data science, including time series analysis, system dynamics modeling, data visualization, artificial intelligence (machine learning), and reproducible data science.
Supported by a network of laboratories in the Montpellier region, students work closely with professors and research teams, tailoring their training to their individual goals.
