The master’s degree course in Preventive and Adapted Physical Activities answers to specific calls from the Italian territory:

• the age profile of our population is among the oldest on a global scale, with high rates of chronicle diseases, disability and sedentary life, which are connected to important factors of cardiovascular, dysmetabolic and oncologic risks;
• the Adapted Physical Activity (APA/AFA), which includes the activities and sport suitable for each individual who suffers from specific physical conditions is still poorly implemented in the territory intervention plans both on the public and private side;
