Call for communication and symposium

General informations

The Teaching and Research Unit in Sciences and Techniques of Physical and Sports Activities (UFR STAPS), a component of the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, has been selected to organize the 20th International Congress of ACAPS in 2023.

This bi-annual international event, which brings together researchers in sport and motor sciences, will take place from Tuesday, October 31 to Thursday, November 2, 2023 on the "Campus Croix Rouge" of the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne.

Submissions theme

The relationship between physical activity and sport and its environment is plural. A concept with multiple meanings, the environment can be understood as a diversified space (physical, economic, social, virtual, etc.), a space of interactions where the individual evolves in a singular way by acting with, on, by or through. Depending on the target audience (disabled people, children and teenagers, seniors, amateurs, competitors, etc.), the types of interactions are varied (man-machine/tool, man-man, man-natural/standardized environment, etc.) and involve a set of actions, concerns, and specific sensations during the physical and sports activity.
During this congress, we will question all of these relationships by zooming in on the way in which we can live and move in these environments, act and interact, adapt, transform and even optimize them, in order to respond to the plural stakes involved in the practice of Physical and Sports Activities (health-performance-socialization-etc.).
It is the multidisciplinary spirit of motor analysis that is at stake in the Physical Activity and Sport Environments at the very moment of prescribing physical activity for patients, the awareness of climate change and persistent organic pollutants, the rise of virtual reality, but also in the ethical stakes of the high-level athlete on the horizon of the Paris 2024 Olympics.
