Sciences et techniques des activités physiques et sportives (STAPS)

Sciences et techniques des activités physiques et sportives (STAPS) is a university field that studies the science behind physical activities and sports. It combines knowledge from areas like biomechanics (how bodies move), physiology (how bodies perform), psychology (mental aspects of sport), and coaching techniques. The goal is to understand and improve athletic performance, promote health, and develop effective training methods. Students learn about human movement, physical education, sports management, and rehabilitation, preparing them for careers such as sports trainers, coaches, physical therapists, or sports science researchers.
