Master Staps:Activite Physique Adaptee Et Sante

The tuition fee is 292 USD per year.

Université de Picardie Jules-Verne, in Amiens, offers a Master Staps: Activite Physique Adaptee Et Sante, a two-year graduate program taught in French within the broader STAPS field of sport and physical activity sciences. This branch of STAPS focuses on adapted physical activity, meaning the design and supervision of exercise programs for people with chronic illness, disability, aging-related conditions, or other health limitations. Typical subjects include exercise physiology, anatomy, the physiology of illness and disability, program design for therapeutic exercise, and the social and psychological dimensions of physical activity. Students also generally study assessment methods used to tailor activity plans to individual needs and often complete supervised practice working with specific populations. Graduates of this specialization commonly work as adapted physical activity practitioners in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, retirement homes, and community health organizations, or as coordinators of exercise-based prevention and recovery programs. The field sits at the intersection of sports science and healthcare, so it appeals to students interested in using physical activity as a tool for health management rather than competitive performance alone. The program runs for two years, starting in September, with coursework delivered entirely in French, so a strong command of French is necessary for admission and study. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Based in Amiens, the university situates students in a mid-sized city in northern France. Applicants typically come from an undergraduate STAPS background or a related health or sport science field, given the specialized nature of the coursework.
