Master STAPS ENTRAINEMENT ET OPTIMISATION DE LA PERFORMANCE SPORTIVE

The Teaching Units for the program address the quantitative and qualitative methodological toolsof assessment, quantification and planning of training, in a multidisciplinary approach (physiology, biomechanics, functional anatomy, nutrition, psychological aspects). These tools are applied, notably through case analyses and practical exercises, physical preparation, injury prevention, psychological support and re-athleticization of the athlete. The scientific process is at the heart of the theory-practice link. Teaching is provided by faculty in science and technology of physical and sports activities, and recognized professionals in the field of physical preparation and re-training. The master’s programis offered in continuity over two years. The program is organized into 5 UE of 6 ECTS for each semester. The "cross-curricular competencies" UE and part of a second UE on methodological tools and research training will be cross-credtied with the Adapted Physical Activity and Health (APAS) program. In the "cross-curricular competence", UE students will start with theoretical training and will take charge of a group of students in the framework of the tutorial projects set up in the STAPS licence degree. The Professional and Research Project(PPR) aims to train students in the management of a scientific project in physical preparation and/ or re-training in a reception center (professional club, sports club, sports medicine center, federation sports, private structure dealing with physical preparation and/or re-athleticization). During the Master 1, this PPR of 15 ECTS corresponds to scientific methodology courses and a training period of at least 150 hours of intervention in a sports facility or research laboratory. In M2, the PPR corresponds to 30 ECTS for which students must establish their project in a host structure (i.e., sports structure or laboratory) during an internship with a minimum duration of 350h. At the end of M2, the PPR is evaluated according to a thesis and an oral defense. Specific arrangements can accommodate different audiences such as working students, high-level athletes, mainly with the possibility of dispensing attendance requirements but also support/tutoring courses for top athletes. The gradual evolution of courses towards a "distance learning" format (FAD) will also facilitate continuing education.
