The course is designed to train specialists in motor activity targeted at the promotion, control, prevention and maintenance of appropriate active lifestyles which promote the functional development of both healthy individuals and those suffering from chronic diseases. Graduates in Exercise Science for Healthy Life are also trained to engage in the maintenance of fitness levels post-injury and in rehabilitation programmes for the complete recovery of physical fitness.

In particular, graduates are qualified to engage in fitness activities with both healthy individuals and those with functional limitations, in the different stages of childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age, through technical, methodological and organisational competences.

On the strength of their technical, didactic and scientific competences in the design, planning and control of physical activities of a recreational, educational and sporting nature, in both public and private facilities, graduates are qualified to assist healthcare staff and to work independently in the field of preventive and protective healthcare.

Graduates can engage in the following professional occupations:

  • fitness;
  • motor activities suitable for various age ranges;
  • motility for the elderly;
  • movement as a way of handling chronic diseases connected with sedentary and inactive lifestyles;
  • motor activity for the recovery of functionality following hypoactivity, also as a result of traumas or illness;

In any case, the adequacy of the candidates’ preparation will be verified through an interview, in order to evaluate the basic knowledge of Anatomy of the apparatus, Cardiorespiratory neuromuscular and Exercise physiology.

Within the European Erasmus+ programme, students enrolled on the Master's degree programme in Exercise Science for Healthy Life can receive part of their training in one of nine partner universities in Spain, Portugal, France, Austria, Norway and Poland. Those who wish to spend a period of study abroad will have two to twelve months available per study cycle.

Please note that some Universities may request a language certificate as a selection prerequisite.

During the period abroad, you will have the opportunity to attend classes pertaining to your own curriculum as well as optional courses linked to the geographical area of the partner University (sea water sports, sailing, winter sports, mountain sports).

As an alternative, you can join an Erasmus+ research programme, actively participating in research projects and collecting material that you could use for your final thesis. Moreover, you could spend your traineeship hours at centres affiliated with the host university, further enriching your experience.

The exams passed and the corresponding credits earned abroad will be converted according to the ECTS / CFU conversion tables, in compliance with the regulations in force in the host university country, and integrated into your study plan.
