Physical activity can be used to improve health, increase autonomy, the quality of life, social interaction and so, indirectly, decrease the cost of health care. The aim of the Bachelors in Adapted Physical Activity is to develop the scientific knowledge, techniques and practises in the field of prevention and health maintenance. This bachelor’s degree is taught by several individuals specializing in the field of adapted motor activities for different segments of the public (children, adolescents, adults, aging subjects with motor, sensory or mental deficits, patients with chronic health problems). A bachelor’s degree from the University can be followed by a Master’s degree.

The relationship between motor activity, perception and cognition is a topic of growing interest. It has been accepted that diverse perceptive and motor deficiencies can accompany classic cognitive problems. This study module is based on an understanding of embodied cognition. More specifically it examines the relationship between dyslexia, a learning deficit and postural difficulties.
