Master Staps:Activite Physique Adaptee Et Sante

Université de Toulon delivers a Master Staps:Activite Physique Adaptee Et Sante from its Ufr Staps campus in La Garde, France, within the broader STAPS field of sport and physical activity sciences. This particular specialization, adapted physical activity and health, focuses on the use of physical activity as a tool for prevention, rehabilitation, and health maintenance among populations with disabilities, chronic illness, or age-related limitations. Students in this field typically study exercise physiology, the effects of physical activity on specific health conditions, methods for adapting sport and movement programs to individual needs, and the design of rehabilitation or prevention programs within clinical, medical, or community settings. Coursework often combines biological and medical knowledge of the human body with practical training in designing and supervising adapted exercise sessions for people with reduced mobility, cardiovascular conditions, or other health constraints. Graduates commonly work as adapted physical activity specialists within hospitals, rehabilitation centers, retirement homes, sports associations, or public health programs, applying their training to help patients and clients maintain or regain physical function. The program is a two year master's degree, taught in French, with courses beginning in September. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Students entering this specialization typically hold a prior degree in sport science or a related health field and should have an interest in both exercise science and clinical or social intervention. Located in La Garde near Toulon, France, the program situates students within a coastal region of France with an established presence in sport science education.
