The Master's in Human Kinetics of the Department of Human Kinetics trains people capable of acting as experts and resource persons in a field of specialization expressed by the profile of the courses chosen and by research work associated with the production of the dissertation. The following specializations are offered: exercise physiology, musculoskeletal conditions and rehabilitation, psychomotor assessment and rehabilitation, intervention in physical education and health. During this training, the future graduate deepens a personal field of intervention and competence, which he can then put to good use on the labor market or further enrich in doctoral studies. The student will have access to laboratory premises associated with accredited research units (laboratories and research group) as well as state-of-the-art research equipment. Program Objectives This program aims to train both professionals in the evaluation and intervention in physical activity and health and people capable of pursuing research activities in the field of physical activity sciences. The objective is to acquire scientific knowledge and skills in order to allow the student to adequately carry out a systematic approach to intervention and research. This training, of a specialized nature, is oriented towards one or other of the following specializations: exercise physiology, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, psychomotor evaluation and rehabilitation, intervention in physical education and health.

RESEARCH WORK
Dissertation (thirty-three credits)

The dissertation must reflect a certain originality and demonstrate that the student has the necessary skills to carry out scientific research in his field of interest in a relatively autonomous way: fundamental or applied research and oriented towards the 'physical activity.

The general objectives associated with the completion of the master's thesis in the sciences of physical activity are to allow the student a personal experience in research and an adequate preparation for independent research and the pursuit of postgraduate studies.

As part of the completion of his dissertation, the student will have to participate in a compulsory activity for the purposes of recommendation for the diploma: the research seminar, attached to the course Research issues in the sciences of physical activity (EPK6079).

The research seminar

The research seminar is a mandatory activity included in the course Research Issues in Human Kinetics (EPK6079) offered in each of the three semesters. This course should be completed before the end of the fourth master's registration session (full-time students) and the sixth session (part-time students).

In the context of finalizing their thesis, the student is strongly encouraged to present the results and conclusions of their research project within the framework of scientific or professional activities, such as a symposium, a congress, etc.
