Content
- This teaching unit (UE) will focus on two main themes:
(i) the psychological mechanisms at play during the initiation and maintenance of physical activity.
(ii) the psychological mechanisms underlying sports performance.
These topics will be approached in an integrative way, i.e., by applying a "back and forth" mode between theoretical concepts/models (e.g., models of self-control, self-determination processes & self-efficacy, triadic model of self-regulation, dynamic ecological models,...) and intervention techniques (relaxation, mental imagery, implementation intention, exposure, cognitive biases modification,...) adapted to the field of the psychology of physical activity.
These aspects will be further detailled by the professor on the basis of case formulations and intervention projects associated with specific conditions (pro-ecological behaviors, diabetes, obesity, athletes, problematic use of video games, e-sports, student population, sedentary population,...).

Teaching methods
- This course will adopt a "flipped classroom" method that will aim to anchor the student in a constant process of experimentation and critical thinking. This dynamic will aim to bring the student to a level of knowledge integration that will allow him/her to be a responsible actor in the field of psycholiogy of physical activity.
- The duration of a course session is 3 hours. Each session will follow a mixed format with a lecture portion (slides/videos/discussions) as well as practical work (in the auditorium, outdoors or in the psychomotor room).
- Detailed information about the course dynamics and the different learning outcomes will be provided during the first class session.
- Class attendance is mandatory.

Evaluation methods
The evaluation will consist of two aspects:
1. A group assignment (an oral presentation format) where students will develop their own psychological intervention project. This intervention must be based on empirical evidence and aims to initiate and/or maintain physical activity in a targeted population. This assignment will be graded on 14 points.
2. An individual assignment (in written format; 5 pages) in which the student will develop a critical reflection on a technique teached in class and practiced by the student during 4 weeks. This work will be graded on 6 points.
