BA/BS in Kinesiology Applied to Adapted Physical Activities

The Baccalaureat en kinesiologie appliquee aux activites physiques adaptees at Universite du Quebec en Outaouais is a 90-credit, enrolment-capped bachelor's program delivered in Gatineau with a single annual intake in the fall trimester. The curriculum draws on anatomy, motor learning and control, biomechanics, physiology, psychology, nutrition, and sociology to train kinesiologists in physical-fitness assessment, lifestyle evaluation, and exercise prescription. Students learn to adapt physical-activity interventions for people with intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, physical or sensory impairments, obesity, diabetes, cardiopulmonary or mental-health conditions, and for children and older adults, with an emphasis on interprofessional collaboration and community-based practice. Admission is available through a Quebec collegial diploma (DEC) with a minimum R-score, prior university coursework with a minimum cumulative average, or relevant paid or volunteer experience; all routes require human-biology coursework and sufficient French proficiency.
