Introduction to the License in STAPS: Ergonomics of Sport and Motor Performance

The License in STAPS with a specialization in Ergonomics of Sport and Motor Performance (ESPM) is a comprehensive program designed to provide students with a deep understanding of human motor skills, ergonomics, and their applications in sports and other physical activities. This program is tailored to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to analyze, improve, and optimize human performance in various contexts.

Objectives

The primary objective of this license is to impart scientific knowledge and practical skills related to the production, control, and learning of human movement. Upon completion, graduates will be able to participate in innovation, creation, and optimization of behaviors, services, or products in the domain of human-machine, human-equipment, human-environment, and human-society interfaces, all of which involve human activity.

Target Audience

This program is designed for students with a strong scientific background. A high level of personal commitment is required to succeed in this specialization.

Admission Requirements

Admission to the License in STAPS with a specialization in ESPM requires a baccalaureate or equivalent.

Structure and Organization

The program is structured over six semesters:

• Semesters 1, 2, and 3: Core curriculum.
• Semester 4: Students choose the ESPM specialization.
• Semesters 5 and 6: Specialized courses in ESPM, including fundamental and methodological teachings, applied teachings, tutored projects, and an internship.

Teaching Sites

The program is taught at the Faculty of Sports Science (FSS) in Marseille.

Formation and Research

A significant advantage of this program is its association with the Mixed Research Unit of the CNRS and Aix-Marseille University: the Institute of Movement Sciences Etienne Jules Marey.

Knowledge to be Acquired

The objective of this license is to provide a scientific education aimed at understanding the motor skills of the sports individual, taking into account biomolecular, cognitive, physiological, social, or environmental factors. Students acquire principles, techniques, and methods for measuring and/or optimizing the performance of practitioners, as well as improving their comfort.

Skills to be Acquired

Students will acquire in-depth scientific knowledge about the production, control, and learning of human movement. They will also develop competencies in the field of metrology and techniques for analyzing motor behaviors in an experimental context. These skills are achieved through the acquisition of knowledge on the scientific approach, specific methods, and tools for ergonomics and motor performance analysis professions.

Internships and Guided Projects

In the second year (S4), students are guided in constructing their project through multiple projects attached to different lectures and practical work. In the third year (S6), students must complete a 160-hour internship in professional immersion, colored by themes of engineering and/or ergonomics or research, under the responsibility of an in-structure master and benefiting from accompaniment by a statutory member of the ESPM mention in the form of Directed Works from S5.

Professional Integration Rate

The program boasts a high professional integration rate, though specific figures are not provided.

Professional Outcomes

The ESPM license opens up opportunities for further studies in Master's programs (such as IEAP, EOPS, or other Masters). It also allows specialization in professional fields like sports equipment development, intervention in sports organizations, or the ergonomics of tasks and interfaces.

Further Studies

Students can pursue further studies in the Master's program in IEAP (Engineering and Ergonomics of Physical Activity), choosing from three paths:

• Bio-engineering of Tissues and Implants (BTI)
• Human Factors of Interactions with the Environment (FHIE)
• Engineering and Ergonomics of Human Movement (IEMH)

Partnerships

The program benefits from partnerships with the sports world, associations, territorial communities, and enterprises.

List of Courses

The program includes a variety of courses tailored to the ESPM specialization, focusing on ergonomics, sport, and motor performance.

Aid for Success

Several teachings and devices allow students to choose their future profession, path, and thus find legitimate motivation to follow their teachings. The path teachings give the possibility to the responsible teacher to see their students 5 hours a week in small groups and thus to follow each of them individually.

Orientation Aid

An internal teacher animates a cell of aid to orientation to which the students can take an appointment according to their needs. Throughout the ESPM mention, from S4 to S6, a BCC "Prepare your future" helps the student in their choices of path.

Aid for Further Studies and Professional Integration

The students' association of the Department of Engineering and Ergonomics, called "Mars'EIS," works for the integration of students. Mars'EIS organizes two major events in the year for L2 and L3 students. The first is devoted to Research in STAPS, and the second constitutes the visit of the teams of the Institute of Movement Sciences, a laboratory of AMU-CNRS.

Studies Abroad

Students can spend one or two semesters in a foreign university within the framework of different agreements: ERASMUS-SOCRATES (Europe), CREPUQ (Canada), or specific bilateral agreements with certain universities.

Domain

The program falls under the domain of Sciences and Technologies.

Component

It is part of the Faculty of Sports Science (STAPS).
